Yeah they did, problem was though that I did it at a Naval base auto skills center because i cant exactly install all this outside my barracks (frowned upon and they have nice tools) but parts got mixed up, so those washers I thought came in the box with my coilovers and hopefully are still jn the extra parts bin at the shop(I know dumb but, I dont have a garage for things like this). and the instructions were there at one point. So basically a couple of dumb mistakes on my part.

 

2 piece poly bushings like TC and Camburg need 4 washers on each control arm. Rubber bushings such as the stock bushings only require 2 washers for each control arm.

 

Good eye!

 

I learned something today!

Great job TW community!

Yeah, no shit. I caught hell trying to get those washers on the inside of mine.

 

Alright got it all reinstalled the right way. bit of a pita becuase the bushings came unseated but it all went together right. No more tire wobble and it drives much better.

 

Not too sure though still feel a little vibration when i hit 30 during braking, slightly confusing

 

How do you tighten lug nuts?

 

for most of them i used an impact gun, but for those today i used a torque wrench to spec

 

Torque sticks?
Overtighening can warp a rotor...

Snug on the lift, torqued on the ground?

FWIW, I use the impact only to loosen and torque on the lift.

 

i mean we torqued everything down with an impact on the lift except main uca bolt. only pulled the bolts for ball joint, sway bar end links today and only on the drivers side so i could reset the bushings, passenger side was ok, only had to pull the main uca bolt on that side. and reread your question. all lug nuts tightened with an impact. i dont think i over did it though
