    When installing the aftermarket upper control arm, had to cut the long bolt head off and flip it around for clearance. Clearly I didn't torque it enough (but also expect the shop I took it to afterwards to have worked on it, so I don't really know who's at fault. I'll say both of us), but I'm wondering what the proper torque should be so this doesn't happen again? I just got lucky as hell that I didn't both lose the hardware, or lose control while driving. Maybe I should mark it with a paint pen to check if it's loosening in the future?

    Well I definitely didn't tell them the torque but I guess I'd assume they would know? Anyway, appreciate the info, I'll check them both with my torque wrench now
