That makes no Sense but whatever. All suspension has a torque spec. Even when i replaced Rubber bushings with Poly i always torque to OEM spec.

so how much do you tighten aftermarket ones?
SRT Handz said:95PGTTech, i used to tighten my endlinks to just where the bushing began to become fat.
After reading my Service manual and noticing the torque spec i went and re-tightened my endlinks...and they needed to be tightened ALOT.
The first thing i did when i bought my Ford Service Manual was torque everything in my suspension to spec using the Ford and MM Specs. Noticed the car felt tighter and i lost a Clunk that was pissing me.
95PGTTech said:So you made modifications to the car and you didn't tighten everything tight enough. You went back and tightened them, and the car feels "better."
And, the point is...?

OnyxCobra said:hmm tightening the end links w/ the lower control arm at normal ride height is a good point and one that i didn't think about. I should go back and redo it.
