I think it's near 80ft lb. but that seems high, I've read alot and am prolly mixing it up wrong, is it in the manual by chance ?

Way too high. 20 sounds right, but I would have to check my book to see for sure.

Remember, these are only 13 or 14mm nuts. If you put 80 ft lbs on them, you will either strip them, or snap off the stud for the strut mount.
