Keep in mind that all of these components MUST be torqued to spec with the full weight of the vehicle on them (IE on the ground and NOT jacked up or on stands)

BUMP....


Anybody know the torque specification (or a torque chart) for all of the front suspension components on the 4dr JK?


Might alleviate a lot of the Death Wobble threads
