it holds the spring on so as tight as it goes as the weight of the car is on it

Some say tight some say tighten

there's only one way to find out..

I think the question is What is the torque setting for the nut?

From memory,8mm spanner and a 19mm swan neck spanner.it may help to take the weight off the car a bit with a jack if you feel it's a tad loose?
I hope this helps otherwise I've completely missed the point of the question!!!
