Got my FSDs in the mail yesterday and plan on installing the rear shocks tonight. Would any of you fine folks happen to know the correct torque specs for the upper and lower bolts?

The plan is to put the car on a finger lift and then use a transmission jack to raise each wheel just enough to compress the shock. Am thinking this makes taking off the old shock and putting on the new one easy (or easier, right?).

Anything I need to be aware of while doing this? This seems pretty damn simple, but WTF do I know?

Thanks.

to my home e-mail address and then building a bookmark database.

There is SO MUCH info here (and knowledgeable people).

Am trying to knock out some of the easier things first (just ordered a big list of stuff which should take just a day to get all of it done). Will tackle the large jobs the same way I'd eat an elephant (one mouthful at a time; or, in the case of the TT, a few hours here and there when I can get the car to a lift (if needed)).

Thanks for the link! And, as soon as I can, I'll the stuff to you.

I would have never thought about doing so, but it seems like a good thing to do (reduces squeaks, wear, etc.).

Would you recommend lubing ALL similar connection points on the shocks?

Also, what kind of lube is recommended?

Thanks!

it's a good book for the TT. you'll love it.

parts in contact, I would put a dab of lube. Can't hurt - just don't get it on bolt/nut threads.

The one on the Passat SUCKS!
