now on the rear the cap above the strut mount, curious on why its got a different torque spec.. It appears to be a large washer between the chassis and strut mount..

Here's a picture showing the strut lock nut that holds down the large washer (torque to 20 ft-lbf), the 3 strut top mount bolts that hold the strut/spring assembly to the car (torque to 47 ft-lbf), and the strut mount cap with rubber seal (torque to 18 ft-lbf).
