aha i get this too, havent noticed anything at high speed but at lower speed have got slight clunk when brakings

Weasel, are you saying slap everything but together, and tighten moderately, but dont tighten to lb-ft specs until you've put the car's full weight back on all four wheels?

Also, how important is it that they are tightened with a torque wrench?

Thanks in advance


How easy are the bolts to get off ?

If you have the right tools, it isn't that hard. The mounting hardware from thrust arm (Wishbone) to chassis is tight. The bushing is butted up against the plastic wheel well. So one arm will need to remain stationary while the other turns the bolts ever so slightly.
