Its all good. When I did my shocks my right rear didnt have the rubber pad between the spring and the mount plate. This was the squeak I had in my rear. I went to the dealer and they wouldnt cover this toyota mistake. I had them contact toyota manufacturing and those clowns wouldnt cover this $20.00 part they forgot to install. Its my time to get some pay back for their mistake. What kind of marketing dept turns down a case like this? The $20.00 I spent will cost them at least 1 sale before I feel better about this slap in the face. Toyota manufacturing told me the rubber pad must have wore out and fell off.
Toyota a comfortable company that feels we need them more than they need us. In My Opinion! Toyota fell apart when they started manufacturing autos in ameria. I will consider all auto makers on my next auto purchase and I will advertise my experiences whenever posible.

 

sorry to bring an old thread back but i've been searching the forum for torque specs and just wanted to know if these torque specs apply to the 8th gen corollas as well?

 

I have never torqued a strut to anything but goodandtight torque spec. Never had a failure in cars ranging from 80's to 2010's.

But if you must I would imagine those specs are close if not identical.

 

okay i wrote down these specs down and will assume its these until i find anything different.

 

Realize its old thread, If avlb i need the front sway bar link torque as i am replacing them along with struts. Thanks

 

Torque spec for the end link nuts is: 55 ft lbs.
