Well after a long grueling night of installing my tokico D-Spec struts and shocks with steeda ultra lite springs, I have been left with a dillema. I managed to torque one of the the front passenger side strut tower bults right off. SNAP[:@]. So i just got back from ford with an entirely new assembly and before I go through the whole tear down again, I need to find the torque spec for that bolt. I have searched but to no avail and obviously my best guess proved to be a bad Idea. Any help would be great.

 

If your referring to strut to body nut, the four studs on top, the spec is 26 ft lbs

 

Thanks.. I finally managed to find a good install, with pics and all the torque specs. I appriciate the help.

 

Could I get a link to that install? Just did the same thing to one of my strut mount bolts

 

Im not good with this whole posting thing yet. I just searched the 2005-08 mustang forums for steeda ultra lite install and it came up. The torque specs are like zipperhead said. But the write up is worth a look over. I think I may have to go back to the rear and flip the springs around. I placed them so the steeda stamp was orientated so it could be read, but the write up makes me think they are supposed to be the otherway around. but that doesnt make sense why steeda would have stamped there product upside down. Anyone know about this?
