Moral of the story... Check your torque specs..

So, after I installed my lift, I took the t4r to my trusted alignment shop for them to do their deed. They got me aligned to spec, and all was well. This was last weekend.
Yesterday I noticed a creaking from the front left but I didn't have time to look into it. Well, today it got worse and I had a vibration at interstate speeds. I pulled into my driveway and immediately dropped the forward ski plate. I put a wrech on the front LCA bolt, and it was barely hand tight. The same with the rear. The right side was spec tight. I have everything torqued now, and of course, the creak is gone.
Tomorrow, my alignment guy is getting an earful!

I had a similar experience with my (former) alignment shop (They also refused to adjust camber out despite my request). I won't be going back.
