RX300 Strut removal/torque settings
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forums and was wondering if you guys can help me out. I am replacing the two front struts on the rx300 and needed to know the torque specs of the bolts so I can get them just right. I searched and came up with nothing. I also called the dealer and the worker said just "zap em in tight". I said can you help me find the torque settings..? And he said "nope thats too much work". So hope you guys can help out.
Best Regards!

Welcome to the Club.
Which actual bolts are we referring to as there are about 3 by my count. Two below and one on top. I probably have the torque specs in the service manual.
I should mention that having taken the struts out (either to replace the shock or to replace the lower rubber supports), I too followed the adage mentioned by the dealer.
