If ya quit turning a half round or so before she pops should do the trick!
The ones I like go something like torque to 30lbs then turn 30 degrees.

Just because I ain't sayin' it don't mean I ain't thinkin' it.
I wanted to make sure I didn't overtighten suspension components. I guess just going by feel is OK. I was thinking if the torque values weren't important , then why do the values exist? Why is this a stupid or funny question?

Well the question wasnt stupid the way you phrased it made it sound like the specs were different on a bucket than on a tractor or what ever. We were laughing at steve he answered your question like a regular person. Something we are all going to need to get use to. In the past he has gotten detention for not playing well with others. He has turned over a new leaf and his latest posts are a testament to the new Steve.
When I was younger (much) I worked for an old Ford line mechanic. He used to say "Ya know that squeak a bolt makes right before it snaps? Well, go half way through that squeak". However, I like Putz's answer the best.
And kev23t - everyone is just messin' with ya in good fun. The important thing that I'm sure we all know is that there are NO stupid questions, and all questions and answers are appreciated. I learn things here every day from reading the questions and responses of others.

LOL... my point with the popcorn was I thought it was going to be a lively debate among several folks (not just Steve (der Spieler) about what the correct torque would be. I figured there would be a bolt by bolt guide with plus or minus 2 foot pounds per bolt. On the other T-bucket board this would have been a two page thread ending up with someone getting banned!!
The bolt-by-bolt WOULD have been funny :thumb:
Thank goodness no one got banned (as of yet
Sorry if I seemed a little "concerned". I'm just used to seeing a major crap-storm when the popcorn comes out (on a different board).
Bolt-by-bolt with specs. and commentary. Yup.. that would have been impressive.
