[QUOTE="Insayne, post: 912737, member: 13678"] So I got some tubular control arms from my brothers car yesterday and man it made a huge difference. My concern is that we were mounting them and had all four arms in the car with all the bolts piloted and I had to shit. So I go inside handle business and when I come out they are tightening the last lower arm. They wrenched it as hard as the possibly could. I'm assuming that's far tighter than it should be. The arms bushings are squeaky as hell. I'm wondering if there could be damage in the future because they are over tight. Also if they are should I just break them loose and use a torque wrench to set them correctly or would I have to pry open the torque boxes a little? [/QUOTE]
