Replacing struts- a few lessons (long) 200

Yeah man, neither strut nut is spec'd in the green book. That could be on account of the wild variations folx would come up with trying to measure torque against a less than solid counterhold (top nut) and use of the spanner (gland nut). I agree with your range. 15-115. Fifteen is enough to make the rod one with the bearing's inner race - the locknut keeps it there - and 115 should be under what it would take to crush and distort the bearing.
