bolts are re-usable. the spec is 75 ft lbs plus 180 degrees. u can use 145 ft lbs, you will be good.

gudntite doesnt work, if the bolts are not torqued correctly the captive cradle nut will break loose and u surely dont want that.

get a manual or ask like you are doing and hope folks know the answer...lol
there is a site with all that information....cheers

Thanks John. I just got home and got them ready for tomorrow am. I noticed that there is clearly two different sides to these. What orientation should they have when installed?

Wow. I'm amazed! I never would have thought that these would have made as much difference as they did.

ha, nah. Just driving back from Ladson to Mt. P I could feel the difference. The front end is tight again like when it was new. Goes in for an alignment at 3:00 then it'll be ready for Roebling.

Never got them in this weekend lol. Ended up getting the horrific sway bar links off and new YYZv2 and TC FE5s on. Next weekend is when I tackle the bushings.
