Re: Engine Torque strut 850 95

In reply to your questions...

1. The torque strut arm is bolted to the engine bracket through the cracked bushing, and through the fire wall bracket with a smaller and more robust bushing.

2.--4. Not to be obnoxious, but I have a full set of shallow and deep sockets, and in the haste of doing the work, I just use whatever fits. My recollection was somewhere in the 13--17mm range.

5. Yes, I torqued them and used a spot of blue (medium strength) LocTite. Lots of vibrations there to help a bolt back itself out.

Good luck,

ANDY
