Had my tranny rebuilt by Bizzy.
Bought new subframe bushings, New axles, New control arms and new strut rod bushings.

Need to know the following torque specs.
Axle nut - 30MM locknut.
Subframe bushing bolts - 4 new gen3 bushings and 2 new recall kits.

It seems like the drivers LCA is too short but I have not yet torqued down the axle nut...so I'm hoping that once the nut is torqued, it will draw the spindle in far enough for the LCA to fit. I tightened it as much as I could with my 1/2" craftsman and one arm but I'm sure its still got a ways to go. Once the axle nut starts to tighten, how much farther does it have to go? It seems like the LCA is about 3/4" short...could the axle nut still need that much turning?

Used to torque knuckle bolts with a 1/2 impact gun full power , at my place.

Your not gonna break anything not torking these. Ppl seams to torque everything these days its unreal.

Torking in a real garage hppens only when working on engine or tranny internals (head bolts , cam bolts - etc.)
