Barry Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Hi, Just installed new lower control arms and struts on both sides of my 2008 for Edge. Torqued all bolts under load to settings in picture below but every time I go over a bump it sounds like my suspension is going to fall out loud metal on metal banging, what have I done wrong. any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, any update on fix. I just replace left lower control arm and also hear some creaking sounds. torqued using same specs as shown on pic other than sway bar link, which i'm unable to torque due to not having tool. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they're of a newer model Edge, or perhaps not even from an Edge at all. The specs shown in the video linked/posted by WWWPerfA_ZN0W ARE perfectly accurate.
