Link in my sig - go to the Tech section.

Nota Bene - When doing suspension work, put the fasteners in loosely while it's up on the jack, and then:

- Put the vehicle back on the ground
- Remove all jacks
- "Bounce" each corner of the vehicle, let it settle
- Then torque the fasteners!

If you torque the fasteners with the vehicle still in the air, you'll have a heavy torsional preload on the rubber bushings - which will lead to premature failure. By torquing the vehicle when it's at rest, you'll be securing the bushings in their "natural" location, which means they won't be stressed with the vehicle at rest.

Treat this point as important. Failing bushings from torquing them with the suspension hanging is usually within a year, most often around six months. You'll kick yourself if you're doing the job again so soon...

...Yeah, on the suspension, I go to "pretty damn tight" then a little more. Then I check them again in a week or two and whenever I'm feeling paranoid.
