Anti twist link torque setting?

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by L-1011, Dec 5, 2015.

  1. What's the torque value for the anti twist link, anti torque link/rotation link call it what you will?

    I'm sure I read 80Nm

    Also how best do you tighten it? The ones in the car have a T40 torx on a 18mm nut and the new TRW ones have a T45 torx and 18mm nut.

    Counter holding with the torx is fair enough but tightening with it is tricky?
     
  2. If you put some pressure on the link at the end you're tightening it will stop the pin from turning.
     
  3. It's not tapered like a track rod end otherwise I would.

    Are you sure it will take that? I don't want to crack it off loose and then not be able to tighten it down.
     
  4. Yeah mate it'll work, that's how I usually get them off and back on. Just a bit of downward pressure on the ball and it will hold it tight no problems.
     
  5. Whats the part number for this twist link?
     
  6. JTS466.

    Just a word of caution for MisterAuto.

    I ordered two from them. They sent me an email saying they were out of stock and would refund me. Adding a 5% discount would be added for future purchases.

    I made the purchase on the 24th November. Was advised on the 27th they didn't have the links. Im still waiting for a refund. During this time they continued to show stock availability and would take orders. They've also responded to my email requesting immediate refund and advised they'd speak to a manager. Nothing so far.
