I just wanted to know what to torque the different bolts to when re-assembling the suspension.

If anyone knows, please post!

Rear shock bolts....
Upper strut bolts....
The "BIG NUT" on the strut
The lower bolts on the struts

Lug nuts too if you know...


I think this would be a good post, since I've never seen it before and was curious.


THANKS!!!

Randode? Anyone? I'm doing my install in the morning, and I'm sure I can make it all work properly myself, I just think im better off asking what I don't know.

Please? ;)

Rear shock bolts....tight, but not over torqued (use a 17mm on a 1/2 drive ratchet)
Upper strut bolts....about 25 ft lbs. (use a 12mm wrench)
The "BIG NUT" on the strut (I use an impact gun and give it a few blasts, this should be tight)
The lower bolts on the struts (I use an impact gun and give it a few blasts, this should be tight)


Lug nuts too if you know... (i think its 55 ft.lbs., NO IMPACT GUN!!!)
