Is that for all LCAs? On the insturcitons from BMR they say 85-90lb for the mounting bolts. Am i missing something?

129 ft-lb is from the Ford service manual. That is the spec that I have been using the whole time (including on BMR LCAs.).

Hmm. I used the 85 ft/lbs(becaus ethat is what the BMR instructions noted)as that is as high as my wrench goes. I haven't had any problems yet, but I will periodically check them to be sure.

Kaldar: have you had any problems with your Spohns? installed them this weekend using CrazyAls instructions on those and the pinion angle. now 1) something pops/shifts every now and then under launch/hard shifting and 2) rear end of car moves to the right when under launch/hard shifting. any ideas?
