Could someone please post the torque settings for the top and bottom 18mm bolts on the strut holding pins.
Thanks in anticipation

Re: Citroen C5 X7 Rear struts
Thanks Marc, seems to be a universal KYB specification. Interesting note re replacement nuts. Somewhat logical I guess given the high level of torque setting.
