Hey all!!
I have already read that the torque for the strut nut above the bearing should be at 59nm (im sure i also read 44 somewhere, but dont quote).
Have recently replaced both.
Before dismantling old i rotated bearing by hand and this spun quite free with with no force (like spining one of those spinner thingys).
When fitting new i tighten down nut without torque wrench.... the strut piece is just too long... so 18mm spanner it was
Tighten to what felt right.. checked ... the bearing did rotate at all
I thought this was off so loosen nut a bit until the bearing (mainly the silver outer edge) could turn but not so freely...
I ask which is correct???
(I have installed already but not an issue to do again)
