it's that top bolt that holds the assembly together, it's suppose to be tightened to 55ftlbs
but how do you do that? if you put a torque wrench on it it will just turn the main rod
Had to use an impact wrench to tighten it
I just tightened it to the point where there is no more up/down play on the strut mount plate, yet the strut mount can still turn fairly free
hit with an impact gun and call it a day.
If your really worried about it you can take a shammy (to protect the shaft) and a bunch of vice grips and put them all in line to hold the shaft while you torque it. But again, impact and call it a day. As long as the mount doesn't slide up and down its fine, and you will know if its not on all the way when you drive
I agree. If you wanna get fancy, get a torque stick on your impact and get it more accurate, but i just impact and go.
Impact has always worked for me, but I agree with John about the torque stick.

I had a problem where the nut kept loosening from the rod. It wouldn't come all the way off so I would have to retighten it, I added some locktite to it worked well.
