I am doing some work on my front suspension, replacing springs and shocks
ahead of the PA Reliability run next week (www.abrr.org). The right front
suspension on my TR4 was very tight (jacking under spring pan lifted the
car, rather than compress the spring). The tightness was at the upper
control arm bushings - they were very tight. I understand the assembly
procedure is to let the car down on its wheels before fully tightening the
slotted nuts to compress the bushings. What torque must I then tighten the
nuts to? Is it a tighten, then back-off-a-flat process?
Thank you,
Brian
