[strath44]

hey folks does anyone know the torque settings for the front struts

1. the 4 engine bay nuts at the top of the strut
2. the 2 lower nuts holding the strut down at the hub

Hi - the 4 nuts at the top of the strut tower are 25nm (18ftlb) and the two M12 bolts with self-locking nuts at the bottom of the strut are 100nm (74ftlb). One of these bolts will be the eccentric for adjustment. If you haven't already taken it off, make a good mark on the eccentric and the strut to re-align these parts when assembling. This ensures that your alignment is not too far out for the drive to the garage workshop for a full alignment...
