Torque of the 3 upper strut bolts?
I am trying to find the correct torque for the upper 3 bolts that hold the fwd strut in place. My Bentley says 34 ft lbs, that seems a little low. I looked up the torque for an M10 bolt and it says 55 ft lbs for an 8.8 bolt. That seems reasonable.

I think an M10 bolt 8.8 bolt ( sae grade 5 ) would break at 55 lb ft
An M8 8.8 bolt normal torque is only 18 ft lb so 34 seems reasonable |
