i torqued mine up to the right setting when i done my 2 litre and they shook loose a bit. steering was very joggy. best to just replace them. | |

Watch the bolts on the rear suspension because the one's that hold the damper to the trailing arm tend to strip the treads very easily- i overtightened mine and thats whats happened, just have to add a nut on the back backside of the sripped nut which i tac welded to the trailing arm but what a pain!!:rolleyes: | |
