Help,

I am going to a shop to get the 24mm Aussie bar rewelded on. Should it be loaded or unloaded when the bad is tightened?

When I had it orginally welded before SZ2002, it was at a muffler shop where the car is driven onto the lift. Could that be the problem. The muffler guy welded it and I installed the bolts.

Would it be better to get the plates welded then go home and install the bar with jackstands on the side jacking points with the wheels hanging down?

20 lbs. of torque sound right for the bolts connecting the prothane clamps to the upgraded backing plates.
