The second link is the section of the fsm you need. It'll take you five minutes to read through it.

LOL he works 16 hours so he can't be bothered to click a link and read 2 pages.

Pnoyz916 · 03-28-2014, 07:10 AM

I read it . I dnt see anything about torque specs

Chuck33079 · 03-28-2014, 08:27 AM

They should be listed in the pic by the bolts.

Because I'm a nice guy.

Pertinent fasteners have their torque specs in Ft./Lbs circled in red.

If you work 16 hours (a day?), where do you have the time to work on your car? I'd recommend that since you're having so much trouble, just pay someone at a shop to do it correctly.

Or is it 16 hours a week? Then that's a different story and just disregard above.

Although this thread is quickly spiraling down to an example of Darwinism in action, I fear the potential for collateral damage done against innocent bystanders. I'm tempted to start a fund to pay for this kid's spring install.

At the very least OP, once you eventually get the car back to the point where you can drive it, immediately take it to a licensed mechanic to check the work and perform an alignment. Do not pass GO and do not collect $200.

Jeezus, this is scary to watch.
