John,


Did you press out the old outer shell from the control arm or is it still there? Measure the 2 and and the ID of the hole(both sides). Some of these have a taper and your suppose to press them in from one side.

The rubber parts bushing- the bolts should be tightened with the car settled- you don't want that stuff twisting around. Want zero twist in the bushing when it's driven straight.
I torque everything I can. I think all the suspension you can get to them quite easily. I may snug things down with an impact gun but then go back and finish the job by using a torque wrench. IT doesn't take much extra time. Most mechanics which don't use a torque wrench simply are lazy or don't realize how far off they can be from the fsm recommended torque.
