I just replace my rear shocks and I realized you mentioned to tied the top nut with a torque 30nm22ft/lbs but I did it without it and I tied the nut comparing with the way the nut was on the old shock about 1/2 inc down the "piston".My question and I'm afraid it's a dum one is if it is correct or not because if is wrong I have to remove the shocks again from the car and I'm trying to avoid it if I can.I'll appreciated your attention...: thanks.

If you didn't measure torque, I can;t be sure if you got the tightening correct.
