Re: Rear Struts/shocks /94 Euro w transverse spring - How to / Help

here I am again using the c-clamp to align the stabilizer bar so that the rubber and clip can be put on before installing the nuts.




Finally, the lower nuts were cranked completely on using the torque ratchet set to 135 foot-lbs.

Just for reference, the upper bolts are suppost to be 34 ft-lbs (46 Nm)
the top nut is supposed to be 74 ft-lbs (100 Nm) - according to Monroe
and the bottom nuts are 133 ft-lbs (180 Nm)



I did not use this torque ratchet to actually remove the nuts. I purchased a similar sized Johnson bar ($40) and the visible impact LONG 24 mm socket for this job. I had previously bought the torque ratchet for $60 on sale (usually $100+).
