strut rod torque
 
I replace the front struts and springs on my 04 pacifica and I can't find anything with bolt torque specs for it. I need the specs for the strut rod. Thanks

40 ft-lbs if you can figure out how to get a torque wrench on it while holding the rod from turning.

Using an impact wrench for assembly is a bad idea if you can't control the torque. They are great for disassembly work.

Yea i guess i expect too much. there is a control knob on the quality air gun i use. but any one with half a brain cell would not use a 500 ft.lb. air gun to full capacity and do this.


Just saying.
