Anybody know the torque spec for the lower control arms where they bolt to the frame not the spindle. I have a noise from mine that I feel might be because I didn't get them tight enough. It occurs only when I hit a hole and stretches the suspension. I have replace everything, mainly because I lifted the front with 2 in lift springs.

Don't know the spec but don't tighten them ever with the wheels hanging, gotta be at road height.

Yes, I knew that. I have a noise that I cannot find, was thinking maybe it was the lower control arms not tight enough. I check them today. They were tight. I greased the Sway bar bushings. The only occurs when the suspension stretches.

That's what I was thinking, but I can't find evidence of either...
