I know that are just 13mm head nuts, but I always crank 'em down as tight as
I think they can stand.....and then a little more! Never put a torque wrench
on it, but mine are probably north of 50 lbs/ft.

25 lbs/ft is fine if the plates are still welded, as all they do is hold the
strut in place. With the welds gone, they now must also hold the alignment.

Anyway, maybe I didn't tighten the strut tower nuts enough, though as I
recall they were torqued to ~25lbft.  That enough?  How much did you torque
the nuts?
