Hi,

I'm not sure if you need the front or rear, or both. LOL So, if you look at pic 1 below, it provided the torque specs for the vehicle.

The remaining pics are for the removal and installation of both the front and rear strut assemblies. Note that the rear (I highlighted where it starts) has the specs included in the directions. I highlighted them as well.

Note: The vehicle will need an alignment after this procedure is completed.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
