Bought a BMR strut brace, nice piece. Torqued strut bolts back down to 82 but no instructions for the horizontal bolts that thread through the mounts and the bar. My initial thought was these should be tight so the bar doesnt have play in it so I torqued the **** out of them, then I realized it may need some play in between and is more to tie the left and right struts on the horizontal plane than to make everything completely rigid. Anyone know how tight to make these?

Find out what size those bolts are and then google that size with the words "torque spec" behind them and go with that if there are no specific instructions.

I checked the BMR site for any vehicle and they offer nothing for torque specs. I would contact them Monday to find out.

They should not have any play, look at the stock bar and it is fully welded, you want to add stiffness in all directions here.

What ls1247 said. There's a bolt size/hardness/material torque chart that usually works when the manufacturer fails to provide specs. In this case I'm thinking you do not want ANY play in the bolts since rigidity is the goal here.

Assuming 10.9 metric bolts?

Better make sure to torque them in Nm...

I see what you did there.

I have an 8" crescent wrench that has metric units cast on the other side of it. So I guess I have a metric crescent wrench...
