10mm bolt advised torque is 37 ft·lb (class 8.8 to roughly match the BMW torque spec of the 6mm bolt you're calling 10mm (head size). Advised torque of the 6mm class 8.8 is 82 in·lb. The bolts are unknown class but moot point if they are threaded into aluminum |

You said arm not ball joint. I suppose ends of life tension strut bushings might not put up with the forces but they go through similar forces every time you hit the brakes. If you are talking about the front bushings, if they got torn from lifting on the tension strut they were already torn you just didn't see it. Maybe that's actually a good way to test them. |

It was the way the jack tweaked the arm. It twisted the large bushing on the arm a bit, and tore what was probably already torn, and made it bit worse. That is exactly how you test them, by stressing them. |
