The AL need them regularly (like 2x a year), especially after a cold winter.

I did mine with an 18" breaker bar as tight as I could get them, even using
a foot as a brace against the fender!! Probably 125 or so.

what should the sf bolts be torqued to while using al.
bushings? Should I just use the standard Helm's spec?
I think it's around 85 ft lbs IIRC.

I think I found the source of my vibrations and
noises. ;) (but this time I don't think it's my fault)

..and since we are on the topic, I thought that the
delrin bushings were the only ones that needed to be
retorqued periodically? I am wondering why my subframe
bolt(s) are/is loose.
