Maybe even a hammer at the end of your wrench just to get some more turn on it. Usually when they tighten them the suspension is drooped so maybe tighten them more when it is on the ground. Also, I remember I had a comeback one time on a Dodge Durango. Anyways, going as tight as I could with my wrenches on the UCA wasn’t good enough and the alignment came loose. Using my big 1/2 snap on ratchet solved that issue! I guess what I’m trying to say is that tight is tight and maybe OEM torque specs are not tight enough for some things.
I appreciate your honesty. I was gonna say before I read your post...ain’t nobody doing alignments using a torque wrench,lol. I’m a bit of a torque freak but I can see where it’s not super necessary there. Good and tight haha.

For the back ones I’m sure they use a box wrench or adjustable and crank the shhhhh out if it.

Seems like an odd issue man. Hard for me to think how the white line bushings could be to blame. I’m gonna have to ponder.
