I got my DC strut brace yesterday. In the instructions, it says the nuts should be tightened down to 43 lb-ft. Is that number the same for an 8G (the listed one is for the 3G eclipse)?

Ok, the FSM I got on this forum states that those 3 nuts only take 32 ft-lb of torque. I think I'll go with that, unless someone corrects me.

Haynes repair manual states 32 for the strut upper mounting nuts, so that's what i went with when i installed my DC.
