LCA torque

Lol.

You can’t get a torque wrench on the UCA bolts?

Like I said before, I’m not talking about every nut and bolt on the car. If you lose an upper shock nut you’re not going to lose control of the car. If you lose an LCA pivot nut you very well might. The LCA pivot shaft and nut is clearly a specialized fastener with a specialized torque spec.



A “great mechanic” without a torque wrench can’t perform any kind of specialized service properly. Doesn’t matter how great they are, they can’t do great work without the required tools of the trade. And a really great mechanic would understand that, and not do work in a sub par fashion.



Exactly. There are service intervals for a reason! You’re supposed to check all that stuff, just like you’re supposed to follow the lubrication schedule for all the wearing suspension parts that have zerks. Basic stuff!
I'm just saying that I've driven a car for years and never checked any of the suspension system for being tight

I've never checked on any of the suspension parts. I'm not saying that it's not a good idea because it probably is. And yes I can get a torque wrench on the LCA, it's that I've never done it myself. Other than you guys on here I don't know anyone that has. Torquing the wheels, even dealerships don't do that and I don't know of any tire stores that do either. I understand what you're saying and I agree with you
