Torque for New Struts

[javis20]

Receiving my new VDC front struts today. Anybody know the proper torque specs. I believe they are 34nm for the top 3 bolts, 81nm for at the spindle to secure strut and 64nm for the strut piston to top mount. Can someone confirm.

Is it advisable to replace the bolts? Also original rubber vs. stiff plastic Febi bellows boot?

Since they are not turn to stretch after torque I assume not..stiff plastic may induce NVH..I don’t know, :tumbleweed:

forgive my ignorance ,but are one of those for the pinch bolt,i think the 81n/m may be it ? I need to know that torque as i replace my struts recently,

Yes 81nm is for the pinch bolt.
