V6 torque values in maintanance shows steering knuckle to ball joint 100    And.  3.   Under notes

Is this the correct setting I want for the wishbone ball joint clamp bolt? What does 3 mean? I know there are only 2 bolts one each side.

Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Plus, anyone know the correct torque setting for drop link nuts.

is that not the front-rear aligned bolt in the knuckle ?

Yes, holds the ball joint on the outboard end of the wishbone.
Or at least that's the torque setting I want.

Tight??

Sorry chris might not help but I couldn't find it last week either so nice and tight is what I went for

FWIW Haynes gives 65Nm both ends   

[markfree]

Lower balljoint to knuckle is 100nm/74lbs ft.
Anti-rollbar link rod to strut 65nm/48lbs ft.
Doubt if you would get a torque wrench on top nut tho.

From TIS:

Attach guide joint to steering knuckle – insert fastening bolts from front towards rear – tightening torque 100 Nm / 74 lbf. ft

 

[Kneepad]

Drop links - tightening torque 65 Nm / 48 lbf. ft.

Quite easily. Left side on full left lock with only the top connected. Right side on full right lock again with only the top connected. My 120nm fits nicely then.
