Control Arm retorqueing
« on: January 30, 2012, 12:21:40 PM »
I just installed a 2 inch lift on my 2000 Jeep TJ and I was wondering if I had to retorque my control arms.

In general, always check torque.  You might even consider doing it before every wheeling trip or on some sort of schedule at least.

Ok, I know 5 link suspension need it but I thought that was because of the way that 5 link systems work. Is it the same for the four link?

Things work loose on Jeeps, regardless of the type of suspension.  It's better to check torque on suspension parts at least once in a while.
