I was going over the car today checking torgue on bolts before the run to the DV. I noticed the nuts on the ends of the front upper control arms (these are the nuts that the grease fittings are screwed into) are not very tight. How tight should they be?

Thanks,
David

David,

These bolts should only be tightened to about 12-15 ft-lbs. If they are overtightened they will crush the bushing and cause the arm to bind.

It's kinda nice to see you FFR R&D types helping out with the tech support on the FORUM, that lacks with so many other companies.
