If we are talking about the strut tower brace, surely this is held on by the strut top mounting nuts?
There are 3 nuts holding the strut to each tower. Their tightening torque is 34 Nm (25 ft-lb). Also these nuts are listed as self locking replaceable, although I was told they could be re-used, presumably with a little loctite.
I believe that the JCW nuts have a history of cracking, but it could just have been a bad batch as some people had no problems at all. I think these were only supplied with the JCW brace anyway. |
