coilover top pinion bolt

i've heard from other people when tightening the top pinion bolt your not supposed to use a impact on it, is this true? and does anyone know if there is a specific torque for the bolt??

u talking about the bolt on top of the coilovers? if so i'd imagine that impact would have the power to twist the shaft which on adjustable coilovers i've heard you don't want to do much. so i'd hand tighten first just to get it tight and then torque wrench it.... i believe the tq of it is 85lb/in... i'll double check ina minute...
