I don't know but you can find out on the how to's section, on how to replace the struts.
just look it up.


Edit: you may not know where the how to's is so here it is...

WARNING.. bling! bling! When you're putting back the three nuts, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Torque to 30 pounds +/- 2. You do not want to have the bolts stripped. If you have them too tight, when you corner hard, you might rip the bolts off, so be smart. don't over tighten

answer: 30 +/- 2 pounds of torque.

120 - 150 ft/lbs should be just fine.

30lbs?!?!?!?!?!
i dont think so, njmax is about right, but 30 lbs, thats nothing. we are talking about the 2 nuts and bolts that hold our suspension on. might want to double check that info.
