Hey guys, I just installed my gmmg catback and moog bushings in my lca's yesterday and I know the torque specs for the lca bolts is 87 lb ft, but my 1/2 inch torque wrench doesn't have enough clearance to get on the bolt. Anyway, I had to try out the GMMG, so I CRANKED on the lca bolts (while suspension was loaded like it should be) just to take the car on a test drive. Is it possible to overtorque the lca bolts? because I probably tightened them more than 87lb ft, so should I get a smaller torque wrench and bring them back to 87lbft or are they ok being much tighter? BTW, I don't have any more wheel hop and maybe its just me, but the wheels seem to spin much easier with the new bushings.

 

oh, yeah and I had to unbolt two bars in the reear suspension (not sure what they are (newbie)) to get the exhaust in. One had 3 15mm bolts on the one side and the other bar had a 19mm? bolt and like a 13/16 head. Does anyone know what these are called and what are the torque specs? ( I just cranked on these too because I was too excited to try out my new exhaust)
Thanks

 

prolly the panhard bar.youll be alright.

 

how about the lca bolts in my first post?

 

come on, anyone? I'm just wondering if overtorqueing the LCA bolts could have any negative consequences.

 

You'll be fine. You can spin the wheels easier because now the power is being transmitted properly to the wheels.
