Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior torque in bolts

How much torque in foot pounds do i have to tight the bolts whenever i am installing a front strut bar?? i have a tanabe front strut bar.

Are you sure they need to be torqued to spec?

Put em on tight.

29 ft.lbf.

Really? That's not tight at all.

Just hand tighten it. They don't need to be in there too much.

i just don't want to break something like other people. Before i installed the strut bar, whenever i unbolt the stock bolts, they where pretty tight. So that is what i did with my strut bar, i tighten real tight, but i am afraid of breaking something.

I have a torque wrench and if i can do it right then it will be ok, but that is why i am asking for the torque spec.
