Re: Does anyone have the torque specs handy for the front struts
115 Nm is way too tight for any of the stuff on the front. I just had my H&R coilovers off Sunday for cleaning, adjustment, and replacement of some Ford stuff on the top of them. The actual top of the strut shaft needs to be tightened down to "as tight as you can get it and then some". Given the fact that you'll be using an allen wrench and an offset wrench (or a regular combination wrench and some patience) you probably won't be able to get too much torque on it. I'm sure there's an actual value somewhere, though. I had one that must have been a tiny bit loose. Over time it actually slotted the top of the mount. Fortunately the threads were ok. The 3 top strut mounting nuts go to 24 or 25 Nm. I don't remember on the pinch bolt, I'll have to look that one up later. It is LESS than the 115 Nm stated above. I'll check it out tonight if I remember... Or somebody remind me.
Good luck!
Edit: The sway bar end links were around 50-55 Nm according to the manual. You'll need a THIN (thinner than standard) 17mm (I think) wrench to slide onto the back of the mounting ball if you want to put a torque wrench (15mm I believe) onto the front. Otherwise it'll be another go around with a allen wrench and combo wrench.
