DS3 Shock Tightening Torque

Unread post by rtakah »

VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Need the service assembly manual with the tightening torque value of the front shock. More specifically the shock absorber assembly and direction.

Thanks!

I've moved this out of the parts thread as it's a technical issue.

We don't supply manuals, but here is the front strut diagram and the tightening torques:
