Drove up to my parents place to get a bunch of work done on my car ('90 535i), except I was an idiot and left my Bentley manual at home. Can anyone give me the torque specs for the following (And/or confirm the numbers I already have)?


Brake Caliper to Mount:

Thrust Arm @ Ball joint: 68 ft/lbs
Thrust Arm @ Bushing: 90 ft/lbs

Front Sway Bar End Links:
Front Sway Bar Bushings (nuts on the retaining bracket):

More important than the actual torque # is when doing the bushings to have the suspension bearing the cars weight before they are tight so the bush isn't under stress at normal ride height.
A good hearty grunt on the bushing, tight on the ball joint and good n snug on the links.

Don't need one, just make it tight enough so they do not rattle and you are set.
