Excellent work. Thank you.

German torque value - Gutten Tight

How can you do this without the lift? Put the side I'm not working on the ramp and the jack on the side I'm working on? If so how do I know what driving height is exactly? Would that be all the way up with another jack on control arm before tightening? Thanks

[@sadrhogollsodia9505]

Jackstands, and ramps.

So you showed one side to the subframe and its torque 74 ft lbs and then 90 degrees the other side where it joins the steering knuckle, you did not mention the torque you just said good and Tight. Good and Tight is official BMW Torque Spec? I dont think you have to show how to put the cover back in. I rather have tell me the proper torque spec, I think you are foccused on the cover too much. I understand that plastic cover is important.

What is driving height to lift the truck up?

How do I replace the ball joint on this control arm? Is it difficult? Unfortunately, this video didn’t show that…
