im trying to find the torque specs for all the various strut bolts that ill be taking off to install my drop springs- towers, two lower bolts in front, and back bottom bolt. thanks in advance.
There is a PDF download of the repair guide in General Forum somewhere, which will have MOST of what you'll ever need for the xB. But I am not sure if the download is still valid. If it's not, someone will be able to re-host it somewhere for ya.
If you can't find that, and someone doesn't answer your question by the time I get home from work (roughly 5-6 hours since I have a photo shoot to do after work) I'll get ya what you need.
