afternoon guys, after replacing the front springs on my Mk1 55s Punto I wanted to torque all the bolts up, just to be on the safe side.
So the two that hold the strut to the hub carrier
The top nut (19mm) on the strut itself
And the two bolts that hold the top mount to the body itself


I trawled the net for some time, I also had a look through the forum to no avail


My thanks in advance
