I assume you mean the strut bolts.<p>It wouldn't hurt if it is handy but I don't.
Use loctight on them and you won't have to worry just dont strip them.

Use BLUE loctite. If you use the RED stuff you will have a bear of a time getting it off again.

Sorry I'm a little stupid with car talk... torque the bolts?<p>I also got a front strut bar... I just undid the bolts and bolted it back on. Is there a wrong way to do it?

This site explains torque wrenches:
http://www.motoworld.com/mu/mmi/mmi9.jhtml<p>You might consider buying the Chiltons Repair Manual for the MX-3 (No. 46802)- its got a good general intro, which you can't get from the online manual.

Does anyone know what the bolts should be torqued to?
