LCA cam bolt torque
My FSM shows 100 ft lbs on these bolts. I happened to check them after a recent alignment and found they were less than 80 ft lbs. Am I torquing these accurately if my front end is on ramps? Or are these supposed to be torqued without weight on them? I'm guessing my alignment guy just didn't torque them tight enough ..

100 ft lbs. Tire should be on ramps.

I find that 100 ft/lbs doesn't seem to be enough. The LCA's still seem to move at 100 so I go to 130 ish. I still have to check them periodically because they tend to back off over time.

Thanks for the replies. I sure am glad I didn't buy the "3 year alignment" from this place.

Seems to happen to me and other people all the time. Now every time I get an alignment I'll torque in the parking lot and again periodically.
