Only values I can find refer to rear axle - flange, cap, crown wheel etc - even then it depends upon type, and the wheel nuts.

Also, can find some on rear brakes, and plenty of info on front end but not rear suspension it seems.

It would appear that there might be different tightening procedures that apply depending upon which type of rear shocks are fitted. Saloon and Estate are not the same. If you haven't got the old ones off yet, have a very careful look at how things are put together.

There is a Volvo 120/130 Haynes manual on E-bay right now. Item number is

190134977482

Might be worth a look!

Good luck

Jack

Thx Jack, have got the haynes...there is a similar paucity of info on rear suspension settings.

What i've ended up doing is after putting new nyloc on everything nipping up everything to 50lb/ft. I reckon this is overkill if anything as the nuts where surprisingly easy to get off in the first place so can't have been torqued too high.
