Get torqued!

Got the subframe and suspension bolts on my 2000 9-5 re-torqued today. What an improvement ! Coolnight has been advocating this and he sure is correct. The car has only 20,000 miles, but I had noticed that the handling had deteriorated slowly over the past several months. No loud clunks, just sloppy handling and a shifting feeling in turns and under load changes. My guess is that some of the bolts were under-torqued from the beginning, and got progressively looser over time. One of the front suspension bolts required a 360 deg turn to tighten it! Re-torqueing is easy for the dealer to do, but you have to ask.
