Torque values for the tension struts
 

Well, my X needs a pair of torque struts. The clunking has gotten worse, and the wobble during braking is starting to get out of hand.

Can't believe these parts fail at 60k miles on a $65k vehicle.

Anyway.....

Can anyone help me with the torque specs on the two fastening points?
I've googled, but have not found those values.


TIA

Should have the procedure and the torque numbers

I believe you also want to make sure your tighten the bushing bolts ONLY after you have fully loaded the suspension. If you don't do it this way, the bushing life will be massively reduced. As I recall...

Thanks ard. That site is quite informative. Bookmarked.
