Top shock nuts should be tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings, typically found in the vehicle's service manual. Over-tightening can lead to damage or failure, while under-tightening may result in loose components and compromised performance. Generally, a snug fit is sufficient, ensuring the nut is secure without excessive force. Always use a torque wrench for precision when tightening.
