FSTB Torque Specs

i cant seem to get the specs for the Front Strut Bolts to come up. If someone could tell me what the torque is supposed to be on the three bolts at the top of each of the front struts I would appreciate it.

Crap, I don't have a torque wrench. I tightened mine by hand. What could this do to my ride?

Tightening by hand is fine. I used to zip them on with a 3/8 air gun.

Depends on how tight you made them... I learned the hard way that even 75 ft-lbs (Specs for the lug nuts) isn't that much... Boy was I surprised when I bought myself a torque (After replacing all 10 of my front studs)
