Ahh Semantics. Well, what I can say for sure is (in a friendly tone) is that when I reinstalled mine, with my torque wrench set to 30ft/lbs. The damn bolt sheared. It sucked and I had to wait for the parts.


So yes, I would check your service manual or reliable source. But I personally would not approach 30ft/lbs.


I know that Ohlin specifically mentions 18ft/lbs for their Road and Track coilovers.


That's it though, that's all my knowledge. I hope you find the problem.
