LCA torque

I guess you don’t know any good mechanics then!

I’m not claiming that I torque every single nut and bolt to spec, but I absolutely torque major suspension components to spec. The LCA pivot nuts are supposed to be torqued to 145 ft/lbs, that’s well beyond just “tight”

The LCA pivot nuts don’t have cotter pins either.



That certainly won’t hurt anything, but since the poly bushing rotates on the pivot pin it’s not necessary like it is for the rubber bushings.

I've known some great mechanics actually, but not all of them could afford torque wrenches, impact guns, guess most people would have called them shade tree mechanics. The one's I that I knew could pretty much fix anything. Sometimes you have to do with what you have.
