Suspension loaded is the best way to tighten down everything. Had an issue with the endlink to arm coming loose, had to crawl under there on the driveway incline and tightened it up. Just used two crescent wrenches and torqued it down as hard as I could as getting a torque wrench in there wouldn't be possible with the rear spring - I have a wagon though, so YMMV.
I have the ST bar and Moog endlinks. Tightened everything by hand with the car on ramps. No noises, because it's tight AF.
Guys! I got some time today, got myself 18+15mm rachet, and did it on ramps!
So i did it as tight as I could my hand did hurt just for little bit after LOL. Only the passenger end link got some slack, around ~1 full turn.
all my bolts + nuts are re-used
My question is for the both of you, have you guys had the end link loosen since, over time etc? Esp with the Moog ?
Thank you!
