    I was working on my front OME BP51 this weekend. My first thought on pulling them out was to release the upper control arm ball joint. That didn't work so I lowered the lower control arm to get the strut out. I put everything back together and this morning I am hearing a metal tension sound. If I wiggle the tire I can hear kinda a popping/tension metal sound. Thinking perhaps I cranked it down too much? I didn't use a torque wrench, just cranked it down and until I could get the pin in. Any thoughts outside of the torque?
