Strut/spindle bolt torque specs

LarsD · Mar 6, 2012

I ordered some lowering springs for my GT, and I was going to install them myself, but I can't seem to find the torque specs anywhere for the upper strut mounts, or the spindles, etc. I'm on the fence about having a shop do it now, but I keep thinking how that labor cost could buy my PHR and an alignment. Anybody know the torque values?

Thanks

I don't know the torque specs but just to let you know, I paid a little over $500.00 to have my Eibach sport system installed. That includes an alignment. To me it was well worth the cost not having to do it myself.

I got a local shop to quote me $240 for the spring install. I just feel off about having a shop do work I have done in the past.

I presume those are the two spindle bolts?
