Nissan Micra Front Suspension Torque Specs - S.D.S. Tightening Torque (FA-15)
Service Data and Specifications torque table for front suspension fasteners. Wheel nut 98-118 N-m; lower ball joint to knuckle 49-59 N-m; transverse link front 88-108 N-m.
This is a scanned page from a factory service manual, page FA-15, titled 'Service Data and Specifications (S.D.S.) – Tightening Torque'. It covers the front axle/front suspension (FA) section and provides a table of tightening torque specifications in three units: Newton-meters (N·m), kilogram-meters (kg-m), and foot-pounds (ft-lb). Components covered include the wheel hub (wheel bearing lock nut 78-157 N·m, wheel nut 98-118 N·m), the steering knuckle (knuckle-to-side-rod, knuckle-to-caliper, knuckle-to-strut, and brake-hose-to-caliper fasteners), the side rod lock nut, the lower ball joint to knuckle (49-59 N·m / 36-43 ft-lb), the strut assembly (piston rod self-locking nut 31-42 N·m and strut-to-frame bolts 25-30 N·m), and the transverse link (control arm), with front side bolts at 88-108 N·m (65-80 ft-lb) and rear side at 36-47 N·m (27-35 ft-lb). A reader can use this page to correctly torque front suspension, steering, hub, and brake fasteners during repair or reassembly. The document itself does not state a year, model, or engine; it was uploaded to a 1990 Nissan Micra gallery.
