[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 438016, member: 19498"] 100 PSI torque IMO will deform the shackles and squeeze the bushings enough to disallow free movement. Ive been running my greasables for years with just enough tight I can spin the bolt with an open end wrench without to much force, maybe 20 lbs if I put a torque wrench on it. You'll notice how the factory bolts are stepped so you can tighten up the nuts and not bend or smash the bushings. Like Macho said, im sure scamazons kit is the finest China quality G1 bolts to be had. [/QUOTE]
