Hey GRM,

 

I'm changing shocks and struts on my 2016 kia sportage today and I can't find the torque specs online except for the older model. Does anyone have access to this info online?

 

Anyone know of a good alignment shop near Oakland/SF?

 

Thank you guys

  An old mechanic who worked for my father said "As tight as you can get it and a quarter turn more"

40lbs/ft for the top mount and 70 lbs/ft for the knuckle is probably good.  From memory on my ZX2SR.

I’ve had decent luck with the Firestone in El Cerrito on San Pablo, but I don’t have a go-to alignment shop here that I can recommend.

You'll need to log in to post.
