I slightly damaged one of the bolts holding the strut to the strut tower while taking it off. Tomorrow I need to go and get a replacement nut (along with some PB blaster) from Autozone. Does anyone know the thread size?

Also, anyone know the torque specs for the 3 outer bolts and the single inner bolt on the front and rear struts?

 

Completely forgot to mention I have Tokico Illuminas, sorry guys.

 

I think the thread pitch is 10x1.25 but not sure.

For the torque 20 foot lbs is fine.

 

Wow, things are seriously frozen for only needing 20 foot pounds.

Thanks

 

10-1.25 wasnt right, I think I might be 10-1.00

 

Correct size is M12x1.25

 

Center nut torque = 44 to 65 foot pounds

Outer nut torque = 32 - 38 foot pounds

Be careful with the outer nuts as they seem to be quite soft. I have rounded off a couple when changing out my struts before...not fun. They also seem to become frozen as well over time. It might be a good idea to put some anti-sieze on the nuts just in case. If you do this, you will have to monitor the torque on a regular basis.

 

Thats our thread pitch for the lug nuts. The strut mount bolts arn't that big.

Wow, I could have swore I read somewhere that it was only 20-25. I always just hand tighten mine nice and firm wich is probly overtorqued. Never had a problem though

 

Got the torque specs straight from the Nissan FSM.
