Rear Suspension Torque Settings

I've been looking for a while now but cannot find the torque values for the rear top mounts and the single nut on the top of the rear strut (for an M if it makes any difference). Anyone got any idea? :thumbsup:
 
The top mount to chassis buts are quite low, only 25Nm or so. The strut to top mount is 60Nm, but as it is a nylock nut the torque is not that critical, just make sure it's very tight.

I tend to do both by feel, the top mount to body is just a nice nip up, then a quarter turn, the other one as tight as I can get.

No, at the rear that nut only has to be torqued to 13Nm (that's very low). It's only a M10 nut, pressing down on a rubber insert. In you have rogue RSM (or similar design), the torque is probably even lower, you have to do it by touch.
This is how they put it in words:

The front ones do need to be set at 60Nm or so (difficult as you need the inner hex key to counter that force)
 
I have just put in some Eibachs and have upgraded to the Rogue RSM's, its all in and tight but I have a very faint knock from somewhere rear right. Going to have a full check over it all again. Thanks for the help.
