Subject:      Front Shocks Torque
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

I replaced my front shocks last night, they were pretty shot.. Used
Bilstein HD's.. and I'm wondering, is there a proper toqure or spec for the
top bolt?  I tried to match the the stock shocks.. driven the van 10 miles
and everything seems fine.  Just curious, as I once read on the samba how
someone had "over tightened their shocks".

Thanks.
