Thats right....and I mean T-I-T tight!

Actually Sam, I don't have a clue. If the bolts are going to be easily accessible in the future then they don't have to be much more than finger tight. If they are going to be completely surrounded and covered up to where you can only get a wrench on them in some kind of twisted daydream then they should be about a gadzillion foot pounds!

dang it.. I did them at half gazillion!

I had to pull these 4 bolts to put the camber spacers in. I torqued them to 75ft-lbs.. the upper are are supposed to be like 125 IIRC
