This info came from a friend that is in the Toyota program at Tidewater Community College, and is what i used when I installed my Raceland Coils and haven't had any issues with squeaks, rattles or any noise whatsoever.

I hope this gets stickied

 

Can i get this stickied its good info...

 

Anyone figure out how to torque the rear struts? I have a torque wrench but since you have to hold the piston rod with an allen wrench, how do you get around that? Is there a crescent type wrench that is crescent/torque (does both)?

 

I think i just used a wrench and got them good and tight. 18 Ftlbs isnt hard to get

 

all i did was tighten with a wrench/allen wrench. then once it was tight and secure i used the torque wrench to make sure it was good.

the wheels were on the ground when i did the torque btw

 

will check it out later

 

Stupid question but this is the same for the 2014 models I take it. Even wit the slight changes that they made?

I would think so.

 

Strut mount nut torque? I don't see anything on the list that seems to resemble it.

On my old car, I had to use a small inch-pound torque wrench.

There's a video on YouTube of a guy installing springs on a tC, and the guy used an impact wrench on those nuts. I cringed HARD.
