Did you load up the front suspension before you torque the LCA bolts to the proper spec?....or left it dangling on a jackstand and tighten the bolts?......

He said; Re: torque, I did torque while fully on the ground (it was not easy), however this particular bushing does not seem to have the preload problem of others. The control arm shaft appears to rotate freely in the bushing.

As BCLexus noted, I paid attention to the advice of all around here and torqued it all while flat on the ground.

Best mod to the car so far, even with the alignment cost. I did the lifetime alignment option at Firestone, so for future mods it's all part of the coverage. They did mention a stuck adjustment on the RR, that toe angle adjustment won't break loose. First stuck fastener found on the car so far as well.
