Mazda3 Lower Control Arms

In this other thread, these are the torque specs listed:

According to WM, tighten front-most bolt to 95-110ft/lbs, and rearmost two bolts to 72-98ft/lbs

I think my manual is wrong, and has the rear bolts are torqued more than necessary. I don't think this would have anything to do with the front bushing failure though.

I have seen torque spec discrepancies like that in GM land, too. Frustrates me to no end.

So how is it?

Seems much better. There was a weird noise in the front passenger side when the brake was applied, and slowly rolling. Maybe brake shield? Seemed to be gone today. Good news.
