Torque settings for rear strut brace

Gary p · March 8, 2018

Can anyone who has a rear strut fitted give me an idea to how much torque to crank the nuts up. Thanks

14mm I’ve cranked them up to 40NM and seem pretty sturdy now, hopefully they won’t go anywhere 😂😂 not planning on doing any dukes of hazard driving 😩

30NM according to the service diagram.

I failed to say I have coil overs so not sure if thread and nut differes to stock😊. Thanks guys @maurice this is handy info much appreciated

It'll be the same thread & nut, you just reuse the nuts when fitting. I'd say you got away with it, probably a good job you didn't go with 50NM :-)
