Torque setting for camber bolts.. and top nut
« on: 28 February 2010, 22:50 »
I did a search and could not find the answer so if there is a link could anyone point me in the right direction

I am going to fit my coilovers this week and need to know

Torque setting for the camber bolts and the rear bottom bolt also torque setting for the top... I don't have a the hayne book, also any advice on setting the basic camber for a period while the coilovers settle then i will get it into the garage


Thanks in advance

I did mine up with a largish bar, top nuts don't need to be mega tight however.

Cheers.. got the backs done, my green rims won't fit as the coilover is wider than the old strut.... so either i have to buy new adapters or put the cups back on.. cups on for now... looks loads better, wil get on with the front tomorrow

I can't undo the top nuts on the front :angry: :angry:

Will have t drive down to the garage and get them to crack them off...  there should not be a proble driving with coilovers on the back and lowered springs on the front?????  car sitting level.


Green rims are for sale :grin: :grin:
