Default C5 shock replacement

this part of the forums is very helpful!!! anybody know how tight the top of the rear shock nut should be when replacing the shocks??
I may not have torqued it enough and i am wondering if its makin a little bit of noise when hitting a small bump??? thanks!!!!

dont worry. they are fine. you torqued it enough lol. i installed sport bilsteins (rear and front) last weekend and it does that pop sound after every bump. its normal. its just because they are compressed to be sports..

C6 Z06 shocks. Less expensive and better performance.
