I noticed a quite obnoxious noise from my struts and bought an unbuilt strut kit as I couldn't find any good prebuilt ones. I am now looking for advice on how to put them together. Some torque specs and instructions on putting them together would be great along with replacing the old ones with the new ones.

Thanks!

I would check into complete units that they sell for not that much more, here is a link so you can check it out, also I have included how to remove the struts and disassemble them which you should use caution with. Here they are for $149.00:
