Hi,

I was looking for my front end noise problem and I discovered the bolt that attaches the lower control arm (wishbone) and holds a horizontal bushing to the crossmember is loose.
It is 12M x 1.5. About 4" long.
Given the attached chart should I use 89ft lb or 56ft lb torque? Also, the face of the nut is kind of shiny from friction,
I don't know if it was a ribbed type for locking purposes, I don't see any evidence that it was. The inside
of the bolt cap is somewhat smooth as well.. Should I replace them with new?
I hope the looseness of the bolt hasn't rounded out the attachment ears.
Thanks in advance.
