Default Anyone know the torque specs for the installation of shocks/springs?

I was just wondering if anyone could help me out and list the torque specs when re-tightening all the necessary the bolts for shocks/springs installation.

Also, if you guys have the service manual, which one do you have?

Thanks in advanced.

Front strut- top nut = 40-47 ft-lb
bottom nut/bolt= 52-62 ft-lb

Rear shocks- top nut = 20-24 ft-lb
mounting seal brackets= 20-22 ft-lb
bottom nut/bolt= 74-88 ft-lb

New shocks?

Make/model please,

with the bouncy, choppy
porpoising ride that we
are all suffering with?

Thanks a lot!


10531178, I got the Tein Flex coilovers, and I have the enthusiast model. I believe all the models use the same exact suspension.

These Tein coilovers will definitely get rid of the porposing, as the stock shocks are simply to soft for the stock springs.
