Suspension mods in general

Hi guys, just a brief one and i hope its helpfull but im seeing a couple of Pogs lately that have been modified either having bushes or sway bars. I have noticed no new torque to yield bolts being used and thats the drama. The manual says replace when removed for a reason , replace when removed. They are torque to yield bolts and if you are a google warrior look up how important they are and how they work. Ok the vehicle had been upgraded somewhere and has dramas, the bolts in question are control arm bolts and they were loose . Not the best sort of bolt to be straying on a suspension set up. Please if you are having the solid bushes or any other upgrades done please check if you are removing torque to yield bolts, not a dear thing to buy and believe me well worth the extra dollars. Under torque a torque to yield bolt and its useless and over torque it its useless..
Hope this helps
Jmac

Cheers for the heads up Jimmy. You wouldn't happen to have the torque settings for the new bolts would you??
