Default Torque strut nut question.

What is the torque spec for the top center 17mm nut on the front struts(AWD)? The one connecting the center strut piston to the top hat. Not the 14mm 3 on the top hat that bolts to the car body.

Since this forum is dead, I paid Alldata and got all the torque specs I need. In case anyone is curious, its 21 ft/lbs.
