  1. Hello everyone! So, I ordered up the Fred Bean Bilstein HD LGT conversion kit, and ended up ordering Swift springs to pair them with. I have a question about the strut-top mount nut. The Haynes manual says 41lb ft of torque. I'm finding that I can not get the rented torque-wrench to "click" so I'm reverting to going by-feel... I've scoured around for pictures to see how much thread is left on the rod once this nut is tightened. I can only get it so tight before the damper-rod starts to spin. Then I have to pull up the dust boot, grab it with my hand, and continue a final torque. Is this right??? I'm concerned about the top-mount having play/rattle if this nut isnt fulling torqued. As of now, there is about 1/4" of thread remaining off the top of the rod/nut. The top-mount is rather secure although, I can feel some play if I put side-to-side and back-and-forth pressure on it to see if it will move/rattle. Feedback would be appreciated. I know that it's important not to over-torque, but top-mount play isnt good either, right? Thanks to all!
