Horrible noise after Z1 upper control arm install

wideglideleon · 03-24-2016, 10:44 PM

picked up my Z from the shop and no more loud noises from the front end. The Mechanic retorqued the upper bolts and lubricated the bushing with marine grade synthetic grease.
Sounds as quiet as stock now.

Hope you have the same results.

That's good to hear, but what does "retorqued" mean exactly?

Bolts were loosened and re tightened according to Z1's specs.
To make sure they were the correct torque seems to have fixed my car's VERY squeaky/ noisy front end.

Wonka did you figure out what was cousing your front end noise?
