Got that man, that's the beam to body bolts.

I'm on about the end bolts in the torsion bars.

You're bang on with 85nm for the actual 4 bolts that hold the beam to the shell though :y:

Don't start getting all professional now Matt!

well you should have said

Rear Hub Nut-140Nm or 103Lbf ft

Rear Shock Absorber Lowering Mounting Bolt and Nut-110Nm or 81Lbf ft

Rear Shock Absorber Upper Mounting Bolt and Nut-90Nm or 66Lbf ft

Rear Suspension Assembly-to-Body Mounting Bolts-90 Nm or 66 Lbf ft

Rear Torsion Bar Retaining Bolts-20Nm or 15 Lbf ft

25nm for ARB end plate bolts.

Dont think it was too high, from what I remember I got them out by hand with a torx key and no extensions
