MK II Fiat Punto Rear Shock torque settings

[LandieMan]

As the title suggests, what is the recommended torque for the retaining bolts on the rear shocks? Cant find the info anywhere.

Just do them tight.

FT? ok!

I did the wheels up at 63 ft lbs, normally I just do them up FFT, but it appears thats not how they should be done!

 

[dave]

lower bolt 74 lbs ft or 100nm
upper bolt 59 lbs ft or 80nm

grease threads to make removal easier next time

i don't trust fiats low torque for wheel bolts and do them to 81 lbs ft
