ive always tourqued my bolts for the struts, ive been told to in my trains class for college iw as in the toyota t-10 program ford asset program and soon honda program. ive always been told to torque the nuts on, i personally dont see a need to except the fact being a part of the suspension but as tight as u can make them plus a lil more will be more than enoug but if u went to aldata im sure somewhere there woudl be torque specs for ever part of the car.
