[QUOTE="NacsMXer, post: 15404565, member: 163021"] Last year, Kelly made this post about relieving the tension on factory rubber bushings after lowering: [B]Hey guys, just a friendly reminder (or tip) I wanted to share. When you guys drop your cars down, please loosen all of the suspension pivot point bolts (WHERE THERE IS RUBBER - Poly/Bearings do not apply) and re-torque them at ride height. I know, I know....it can be a pain in the ass, but it WILL help your suspension pieces live a longer and better performing life. In case you do not know, or do not want to figure it out, loosen the following pieces and re-torque when changing the ride-height of your S197. Front: FLCA to K-Member bolts Rear: RLCA Bolts, Front and Rear Mounts Panhard Bar Ends, L/R sides UCA to UCA Mount Bolt UCA to Diff Bolt[/B] I just finished lowering the front of my 2014 on BMR SP009's, but did not yet loosen and re-torque the FLCA to K-Member bolts that Kelly mentioned. Would this be an absolute necessity to re-torque? Is this referring to the single forward pivot bolt for the front lower control arm on each side? #2 in this Ford Service Manual diagram? The service manual doesn't mention anything about torquing the 2 rear hydro bushing bolts and nuts with the suspension loaded. Just to tighten them while the vehicle is still supported on a lift. So assume I only need to torque the single front pivot bolt when loaded? Thanks again! [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/2jc9gk7.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
