Originally posted by DigitalwaveCaliper bolts are 91ft/lbs, I always torque those to spec. Same with the wheel nuts. The top bolt for the shock is hard to torque to spec, and the control arm and tie rod ends I just crank down.
Compress the spring on the car
remove upper mount
remove locking cap for strut insert
slide strut insert out through tower
replace spring with new spring
slide new insert in and tighten cap
install top mount
uncompress spring
job done.. Take about 30 minutes per side in the front.Signature removed by R3VLimited staff due to a violation of the signature rules
