Re: Struts
the torque is like 180ft lbs or soemthing crazy like that. thats for the 2 bolts to the spindle. Honestly, i have never torqued those, i just hammer them with the inpact gun and be on my way.
what wrench, beam or click type? if click type, just set the desired torque, and turn till it clicks. do the other bolt, then repeat. Some bolts require lubricant as directed by the manufactured to achieve proper torque.
