hi,
This weekend I want to do the "squeak fix" by greasing the stabilizer bar in the rear. The "how to" guide warns not to overtorque bolts when refastening.
I don't have a torque wrench. Is there any way to estimate torque (hand tight, two turns past tight, etc)? Or am I asking for trouble?
The "how to" says...
[The correct torque is, for the brackets 14-19 lb-ft., and for the links it is 22-30 lb-ft., anything more than that will damage the bushings and stretches the bolts which could fail under hard cornering.]
Thanks.
