elfnmagik Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I seem to think I read this some time back, but can't seem to find it again. So, when assembling the strut, how have you guys tightened the top center nut without torqueing against the spring seat? Also, is it best to bench tighten it or mount the strut first and then tighten it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlvinL Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Without a second set of hands or a large vise, I'd install it then do the final tighten/torquing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfnmagik Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 So then there is no need to ensure a specific torque for this, correct? It seems the cap/nut don't really provide too much function besides protecting the fitting/strut shaft tip. I will assemble the strut, mount it, and torque the cap/nut on the lowest setting on my impact gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
