Torque limit for shock absorber nuts?

Postby climic » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:45 pm

Just want to know if anyone knows the torque rate for shocks on a lib wagon? For top mount bolts and bolts behind brake rotors?

As I'm installing new shocks soon!

not too much on the top bolts and as much as you can get on a 600mm bar for the lower ones....
But, from the manual
20Nm for the 12mm top nuts
55Nm for the single strut top nut
175Nm for the lower strut mounting nuts (don;t try and tighten the camber bolts from teh bolt side, you'll fk them!)

Yeah it would be the same front and rear.
Built not bought, it's a way of life.
