I replaced the passenger side 'dogbone' motor mount on my 07 versa h/b

Damn dealers will not give me the information on how hard it needs to be torqued down... I'm not paying $250 for them to do the install when I did it myself in 10 minutes


How far does the two bolts need to be torqued down?

Thanks!

What I needed was page 197, Part 9.. the bolts holding that down... reads 140(14,103)

I torqued it down... as I was doing so.. right around 100 FT-LBS... the bolt makes a gunshot loud sound, I fall flat on my a**... I get back up and mess with the bolt with my hands...... Stripped.

The bolt that secures this torque rod is welded to the underside of an extremity of the chassis.. behind the motor.. I don't know how to fix this now, and my car makes a ridiculously loud rattling sound while off-power in gear or slowing down in gear


God damnit.
