when your twisting as hard as you can and you see one of your nads shoot across the floor, then its tight enough. but my neighbor (ase certified) said they vary on vehicles between 180-250 foot lbs!!! i thought that was tooo much, but im just restating what he said.

All the newer Mercedes are 150 ftlbs plus 90 degrees. We figure it's in the range of 400ftlbs. We use jack handles to torque them, it's the only way. Just some random info.
