put the car on the ground. I wasn't able to get a torque wrench on it or even a socket. Use and open end and just tighten it down with almost all you have. I did a little experiment. My torque wrentch is about 2 feet long. My open end wrench is about a foot. I put the head of the torque wrench in a vise and turned it to the specified foot pound(can't remember off the top of my head) by pushing the torque wrench a foot from the head. This gave me a feel for how much torque I have to aply on my open end wrench. ITS A LOT! I think you get the point. The key is to make sure the bushing is in the normal ride hieght when you tighten it, on the ground. More torque on the bushing will only make the joint tighter by expanding the bushing more in its sleave. This is a benefit to tightening it down good.
