Upping the thread... Maybe I missed it... but anyone know how much to torque the bolts (those 2 by the LCA) to? I did it to about 160ish... but it seemed harder when I took the original one off....

The two bolts that holds the caster arm to the #1 LCA? Those should be about 80 or so. I will check when I get home, but it was definitely not 160. Most bolts take more force to break off, especially if they've been on the car for years

Never use a torque wrench to get any bolts off. It will really mess up the calibration.
