Torque specs for struts
Hello, I would like to install lowering springs but I have not received my shop manual yet and I need the torque specs for the strut bolts. I know the top 3 bolts is set to 25 lbs but what is the torque for the bottom and top bolts. Thanks,

The nuts on the three mounting studs should be torqued to 25 ft-lbs. The strut shaft retaining nut torque is 55 ft-lbs prior to releasing the tension on the compressed spring.

 Yeah be carefull I learned the hard way it's easy to snap one of the studs on the top of the strut. I did this when installing a strut bar.
