****, is the front number foot/lbs what's the number in parentheses. (kg and newtons)? that means i have to go back and retorque all the bolts. still on lift. I just went by some of the diys and they had listed for example 28 lbs for the top of the struts.

here is the link that i found. it might be for a two door.

right above the shock bolt where the Y ends there is another bolt that holds the strut to the body.

Units INFOID:0000000001834590
• The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit), and
alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about the
standard tightening torque.
“Example”
Range
Standard

• THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks of
work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle
or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.
Outer Socket Lock Nut : 59 - 78 N·m (6.0 - 8.0 kg-m, 43 - 58 ft-lb)
Drive Shaft Installation Bolt : 44.3 N·m (4.5 kg-m, 33 ft-lb)


I guess i was right. the link would be correct too. the first number in in newtons.......the last number in parentheses in in metric ( foot-lbs).

I have a RWD Sedan There's no mention on the FSM for that plate, so as i noted it just torqued mine down to about 70 ft. lbs. It hasn't gone anywhere and is on there tight.
