Heh, so camber bolts or tophat bolts just have to be hand tightened and then checked in a few days? Hey, it's not lug nuts or an engine part.

Don't mean to give you a hard time for your comment, but why does nobody value torquing things to spec anymore? Why does the manufacturer even bother specifying torque specs if "good n tight" is fine?
