Torque Spec - Front Strut Nut

[parthpatel1]

Does anyone know the torque spec for the front strut nut for the F15? Couldn't come across it anywhere online.

This piece below is what I am referring to.

There's actually a tool specifically for tightening this bolt - I had no idea. It's called a 'Strut Nut Socket'.

Did you replace the strut?

Negative, just trying to torque down everything properly as I did not do so when installing lowering springs first go around.

Gotcha. Deep down (selfishly) I was hoping you had an issue w/ the strut or mount because I believe that's my suspension issue as I've replaced all the FCAB's and there's still an obnoxious sound up front and very sloppy "floaty" feel when cornering. Purchased some BC Racing coilovers that should arrive this week so hoping this takes care of the issue while improving handling and closing the wheel/fender gap.

Please post a review of the BC's when you get them! I may end up getting a set down the road. I used to have them on my STI back in the day when my subframe was half an inch off the ground

Will do! Hopefully getting them installed late this week or next week. classic_erik has a great writup on these coilovers. He actually convinced me to get them so give it a search.
