Tighten them down til they stop then force another full turn out the nut, to compress the bushings correctly. That's what the directions on the Energy Suspension box said, when i did mine.

Good to know. Both my front and rear endlinks are poly, one from energy and one from prothane and neither of them came with any kind of directions/torque specs etc.

yea thats what i jus thinking!! but if i tighten them down any more i know its going to get really squished! so i think its about perfect right now! and its also a nylon lock nut so it wont let loose that easy!
