Torque specs on shcoks/struts??

What are the specs for stock torqueing specs on the suspension such as the strut tower bolts for the top hat, or the strut/shock torqueing specs.
Thanks

Heh. Almost as tight as you can get them.


But, really. The upper strut bolts are 39-54 N*m (or 29-40 ft/lbs).

how much are the wheel torque specs, I just tighten them as tight as I can get them then use a rubber malet to tighten it more, is that good?

Are you kidding me? That's the most ignorant theory that I've ever herad. There is a maximum torque for a reason.

72-87 ft/lbs
