Default strut assembling torque question

Does anyone know the torque ratings for the center locking nuts on the front and rear? 2000 4L if it matters, going to be changing them today and couldn't find it.

With adaptive damping, torque to 27 Nm; without adaptive damping, torque to 50 Nm.

I think only jaguar struts have the adaptive too if I'm not mistaken.

Yes. Disconnect both harnesses to the ADCM in the trunk

The struts have already been disconnected from the system, so to avoid having a warning on the instrument panel, disconnect the plug from the control module in the boot (trunk).

It may also be a good idea to tape over the exposed ends of the strut connectors on the vehicle to keep dirt and moisture out.

In your trunk on the lower left side you will see a black box labeled ADCM - disconnect both connections to that module.
