I googled "acronyms" and it seems that req'd does indeed stand for required.
 


Thank you! I did search on Google too and I found it as "required" but as I don´t know anything about mechanics... lol

Thanks for the help!
 


It doesn't have anything to do with mechanics - it's more or less a standard abbreviation for required.
 


Great! Thank you Mark for your reply =)
