Ever since I installed my plenum, I've been getting a creaking/groaning from the front of my car while turning and stopping the car. I'm almost positive its my strut bar not being tight enough. Anyone have the proper torque specs for the strut bar? Thanks.

 

could it be from the plenum rubbing it while it flexes?

 

I really highly doubt it. The sound has only increased when I reinstalled the strut bar a second time and torqued down the bolts even less.

 

18-23 ft-lbs

 

Is that a definite?

 

yes definitely. direct from the technical service manual

 

Thank you very much!

 

which service manual do you have? haynes? bentley? i need to purchase one so i can really start getting to work

 

Probably this one
