Default Any torque settings?

Rear suspension top mounts/stut mounts or what ever you call this faulty bit. Does the top centre nut attached to the shock arm have to be torqued up to a certain setting? Can anynone help please?

Mate , mine were torsion nut anyway. Just do up tight and make sure strut is seated or mount will rip itself to shreds again. If it bottoms out like alot do before fully tightening , use a heavy duty washer to take up slack. Cheers

As bosman says torsion nut known as a Nylock nut. Do up till firmly down, won't come loose.
