Torque setting on the front suspension

[James20VT]

Ok, im gonna be fitting strut tomoz, and me and mate are going to drop the front suspension and wheel from its position. but im trying to find what the torque setting is on the bolt at the top of the suspension, to use with the torque wrench when putting it back together.



thx

You wont get it torqued up as there is no resistance to stop the damper spinning as you tighten the nut. Dont hold it with anything either.

You need to undo the crap rubbish sh*te design topmounts with an air gun (21mm i think) as you need the impact to free them.

Undo the 2 bolts holding the strut to the hub and once you have freed the top mounts you can remove the strut. Why renault used this aweful system and not a conventional top mount which bolts through the turret ill never know.
