    Question Top Nut in Camber/Caster

    What tool I gotta use to take the top nut off?



    I mean besides the obvious wrench, are there any specific hexagonal sockets? Also, when re-installing the nut - are there any (45 lbft?) torque requirements?

    Thanks.

    You just need a standard 11/16" wrench. I've read about people snapping the top off the strut shaft when driving around with the nut too tight (spec torque). I just hand tighten it (while pushing down on the cap) then give it a 1-1/2" turn with the wrench. The rubber is still able to flex and the cap doesn't move around.
