1997 S90: I'm replacing the rear shocks (not Nivomats) on my 1997 S90. I can't find the correct torque setting for the upper and lower mounts. Can anyone help me with this? Also, what's the best shop manual to buy for this car?

The shock bolts are not failure critical so I doubt that you will find much for torque values. You don't want them to fall off and you damn sure don't want to break the stud ( bolts aren't so bad ). Gudentite is usually enough. If you have any doubts, you could add a tiny dab of blue loctite.

Standard torque for a 9.8 10mm bolt is about 50 ft.lb, a 12mm is about 90ft.lb.
