Maybe they are too tight? Not enough clearance between the top mount and the black spring cap?? How are you guys judging torque on that top nut?

OK sorry, I'm still confused about how to tighten the top nut. I can't use my torque wrench AND use an allen key to keep the strut from spinning. Would this work: use a go-thru socket (and allen key) to tighten the top nut down a bit...and then finish it off with just a torque wrench?? I just don't want to damage the strut by spinning/turning it.

Also, did RCE leave off the instruction and torque spec for attaching the swaybar endlink? I think the diagram says 34 ft-lb. Also, the RCE instructions say to torque the clevis bolts to 129 ft-lb, but I think the diagram says 114 ft-lb.
And does anyone know where I can find the torque specs required for the rear camber bushings install? Thanks.
