Strut to Spindle Bolt Torque?

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the front spindle to strut bolts are supposed to be? I cant find the numbers anywhere, and Google is useless.

i put 90ft/lbs on mine cause i read it somewhere that thats what it was supposed to be. But hell, all the ones on other GM FWD cars were like over that, so im needing to know, cause i think it may be the cause of my knocking....maybe

Yeah but the rears do. When I did that Impala I know the strut wasnt compressed against the spindle all that much so thats why I threw the breaker bar on there. I would definately crank them down if you only did 90ftlbs. Hell wheel lugs are 100 and theyre only 12mm. I believe the strut bolts are 16mm

Yeah, when i pulled the struts out, i broke an impact socket on the end of a breaker bar the first time. Maybe i should put a little more torque on them next time i have the wheels off.
