make sure the end links both to the sway bar and to the control arms are properly torqued down to the right specs which is 80 or 115lbs.?? don't quote me on that.

how can i check to make sure they are torqued down to those specs? u need to hold it with an allen wrench while u tighten the nut on. i just got under the car to make sure the bolts underneath were tight, and they still are so cant be those.
