Worried about control arm shaft torque
I put new poly bushings in. Installed the control arms and now I am torquing the shaft nuts. 115 upper & lower. Does that sound right? Pass side looked good. Driver side upper has me concerned. When I got them to 115, the nuts were hardly touching the bushings, I mean I could spin them around the shaft. What gives?

Re: Worried about control arm shaft torque
I could be wrong on this, but tighten the back nuts and then the front, then torque

Re: Worried about control arm shaft torque
I don't see how that would matter seeing how I have them mounted on the truck. I did not torque them while they were off. Maybe someone else will chim in.

Re: Worried about control arm shaft torque
I had to trim my poly bushings about 1/16'' to get the washers to touch the bushing when torqued down properly. Don't go to far or you will crush the bushing and clamp down on the arm.
