Iv just had 1 of my front struts apart and have put the spring back in etc and compressed it to get nut on but i need to know how tight i do it up (the nut that holds the whole thing together) Im guessing i just do it up as far as it will go and make sure its tight?

Also once iv done that and i need to do up the nut under the bonnet that holds the strut in place how tight should this be?

Need to get this back together asap!

Thanks!

If you need to get it together now, I'd do it up as tight as you can now and just whack it on.

If you have to get a torque wrench to it, it won't be less tight than it is after that! lol
