Most important when installing, vehicle be sitting with wt on it's wheels. Tighten fasteners to mfg's suggested tq (sometimes impossible due to access issue).

Most come with ungraded hardware, Brafasco or similar for high grade then torque as per fastener chart.

Gr5 or Grade 8 bolts, I always use flat hardened washers. Standard torque spec depends on fastener size.
