~150 foot pounds on the 2 bolts into the frame.

~60 foot pounds on the ball joint part.

Or fricken tight on the frame and a wrap from an impact gun on the joint.

For suspension components a torque wrench isn't really needed.

Exactly.

Personally I put a little antiseize on all suspension bolts as they are usually a pain the next time you want to remove them.

drove it to work yesterday and I really need to get my rear seal fixed cause I can really feel the back end start to grind and its leaking onto my brakes
you can see where it has leaked onto my tire and on the back of the brake and on the inside of the brake cover

Was bored and did the fog light mod, was a lot easier than I thought. While I had the switch apart I soldered on a whit led in place of the old yellow one, looks a helluva lot better. If nyone wants help on the fog mod let me know
