Front suspension torque under weight- rules?
Hi guys, I should know this, would someone please remind me which suspension bolts should be torqued with wheels on ground under full weight?
Thanks!

The upper control arm bush is free to rotate (unless seized) as are poly bushes.
The three shock tower bolts and the lower shock bolt should be allowed to be in the natural position before torqued. This takes any twisting off the tower after install.
I know a little ****, but something we all know that keeping the stem centered at the top can be a problem, so lets do all possible to help.

...and, finally,
I also include the drop links.
Oddly, the W/S manual doesn't stipulate any of this. At least, I didn't find any note when I was doing the lower control arm bushes.
