The power flex bushings are going to pass a lot more "bad road" feel into the chassis and passengers. The energy has to go somewhere.
Wish that trick was written about 36 hours ago

But I did it the old school way and laid on the floor with the wrench and torque wrench and cranked

Very impressive difference with all new suspension gear in the front!

Will plan for the rear makeover maybe next month or April.
