Rear axle torque specs 1989 325i

[Mason]

I have seen a couple different numbers in reference to torque specs for the rear axle nut so I was hoping I could get a response to be sure. I'm also wondering what the torque spec is for the axle to differential bolts.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

According to the Bentley manual:

rear axle nut: 144-155 ft. lb

inner CV joint internal hex bolts: 42-46 ft. lb

Thanks I was reading some other post saying the nut was 180ft. lbs so I'm glad I could clear that up.

Thank you again 🙌
