Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The Bentley book I have says for the rear strut nut, the torque should be 43 ft lbs. The Instructions that came from Bilstein say 19. I am basing the Bilstein # off of Bentley saying the nut is a M10 thread. I must be reading something wrong? Suggestions. I have to think 43 is the closer to the right answer. Same problem I have with the front but only differ by 5 ft lbs. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

The nut on the strut shaft that is at the top? They're 12mm. Porsche service manual for the 996 Turbo says "Front Spring strut mount to piston rod = 80Nm or 59 ftlb" "Rear Shock Absorber mount to piston rod = 58Nm or 43 ftlb"

Isnt 19 referring to the size of the nut as in 19mm?

POST 4Original post

Get a copy of Jakes/The Knowledge Gruppe revised 996 Torque specs.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It says ft lb next to it, The front made sense.

That's what I always use for my torque values. I have both the 996 & the 997 books. https://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/p...ategory/books/
