I can`t recall ever Torquing Shock hardware .

Perhaps some one feels the need

Snug has always been good enough in the little time I worked on stuff.

Tight enough to stay on it's own, loose enough to come apart again someday.

Jeez, would you buy any vehicle from a guy who says "Yeah, I completely rebuilt this baby. And no, I've never used a torque wrench"?
