Torque value for 2014 LCA to frame?
Tying to track down a binding noise that occurs when steering is near full lock to right at low speeds. Want to check the proper torque to see if the ship didn't tighten fully.
The reason I asked about the kit is because I had the same thing after installing mine ... but it was NOT an issue of torque on any bolts or connections. It was (as best I can tell) that the springs on the coilovers had not fully settled into place, and were "binding" at full lock and "clicking" ...
What I had to do was use some WD40 and spray the heck out of EVERYTHING on the front end ... all ball joint connections, pivot points, tie rods, where the sway bar is held in place by its mounting bushings, and the top/bottom of the springs on the coilovers where they rest on the seats and up at the top where the cap and rubber bushing is.
After lubing everything up substantially, I went and drove around and pushing the steering to full lock in both directions multiple times to "work" the front end over. The clicking went away, and never returned.
