Rear Suspension Pinch Bolt Torque

I replace the 2 rear struts the other day. I managed to get details of the torque settings for all the bolts that I removed except for the bolt that pinches the lower part of the strut. This was easy enough to undo when I did the replacement but it seems to me that that clamp is holding the majority of the dynamic weight of the moving car for that wheel. I guess it would be a bad day if the lower part of the strut were to slip through it. Shocked

I have searched high and low. Does anyone know the torque rating of this bolt. Thanks so much for your help.

If it is the ‘Hub carrier-to-strut clamp' bolt then Haynes says 110 Nm (81 lbf/ft)
