Front subframe torque

[moondustka]

Anyone know the torque setting for the subframe bolts?

Still in search of my knocking, so I'm going to try re-aligning and tightening the subframe.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben
If it's any help for the Fiesta it says "front crossmember securing bolts 103 NM or 76 lb/ft in old money.

Thanks guys!! That's really not very tight.

What I'm wondering is whether I'm hearing the subframe knocking because it's flexing. My anti roll bar mounts appear to be about 2mm from the chassis so I'm wondering whether it's touching on and off :? So I'm going to try re-aligning it, although the I don't have the tool, some 20mm bar should do!

Just can't seem to work out where it's coming from, it's not obvious. Apart from the fact it feels like it's at my feet.
