Default Rear shock bushing tightening.

Hi,
How tight should I get my koni rear shock bushings on top? I know it says tighten till bushing begins to be compressed but this is a little vague. Should I tighten the bushings to where they cant be rotated when theyre tightened? Or should I still be able to rotate the bushings in a circular motion even once theyre tightened down?

THanks!

I know its a very specific question but how tight are these bushings supposed to be? Should they be just tight enough so the bushing cant be rotated?


Thanks

Tighten the nut until the bushing compresses to the same width as the large washers or slightly larger. I tighten mine until it is just past the washers.
