Torque spec. for s80 axle and control arm? S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Lane from s.c. on  Mon Mar 17 08:15 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I have tried to find the specs in the search for the s80 but no luck. I am replacing the control arm, bearing asy., and strut. If anyone has the torque for the control arm and I assume car has to be loaded and also the axle bolt torque. Any other tips I would love them. I have done this type job before but not on s80.
Thanks,
Lane

    Hi Lane,

    My brother in-law and sister in-law live in SC and also own an S80. Could you recommend a indy mechanic for them in the Charlestown area?

    I appreciate it greatly if you could please email their contact info to me at fcvincent2002@yahoo.com...!

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Hi Lane, The specs I found (from a non-Volvo source) for my [early] '99 S80 are:

    Control Arm to/ Subframe (front 2 bolts); stage 1: 48 ftlb, stage 2; angle tighten 90°
    Control Arm to/ Subframe (rear bolt/nut); stage 1: 77 ftlb, stage 2; angle tighten 90°
    *I have no info wether the car has to be loaded or not.

    Shock Absorber/Steering Arm (how the reference termed it): stage 1: 77.5 ftlb, stage 2: angle tighten 60°

    Hub / Steering Knuckle (4 bolts); stage 1: 15 ftlb, stage 2: 33 ftlb, stage 3: angle tighten 60°

    *Axle Bolt; 37 ± 9 ftlb
    *note: on my '99 this is a small (M10 / 14mm I believe) bolt. I think I've heard that it's like a 34mm nut on other years so the spec would likely be different.

    Of course, since these specs aren't directly from an official type Volvo source, I can't be 100% confident they are correct, and as mentioned, were ascertained for my early '99 S80, in which many things changed in proceeding years.

    It's always recommended that critical/high load bolts be replaced with new ones.
    Hope this helps.
