    Can anyone inform me what the Bolt Torque specs are for the bracket "torque strut/mount" to radiator support? I believe the torque strut to bracket/stay is 37 ft lbs, just need the specs for the bracket to radiator support bolts...Thanks..

    The spec is : Tight

    In reality it's likely the same as the other. I've never found anyone that actually torqued it to the proper spec though.

    I'm with Bill. I just keep going until I can't. I've only ever had one make noise once and it's because I tightened one side and forgot to tighten the other.

    Haynes... "the official fire starter"

    If you get a chance, get the set of FSM's for your car or the dvd with it. You'll find they are much more informative and awesome compared to the Haynes.

    That's why it's a fire starter. Once you get the other...you'll realize..that's all you think it's good for.

    For future reference, these specs are out of a 99 GM service manual:
    Upper Radiator Support Bolts: 21 lb-ft
    Engine Mount Strut Bolt & Nut: 35 lb-ft. These specs must be similar for 97's thru 2003's
    I used some blue medium thread lock tight to help keep the Engine Mount Strut Bolt & Nut from backing out. So far they're holding just fine.
