Long story short, I've got some weird noises comeing from the rear right side of my car shortly after getting new struts installed. I heard that it might be because things were incorrectly torqued.

I want to lossen all the bolts and torque them to spec. What is the proper way to go about doing this? Should I jack the car up, pull the wheel and support the LCA with another jack? Or just loosen and torque without supporting the LCA?

I won't be removing anything, just loosening and retightening.

supporting with a jack is good, but not nessisary...its not that big of deal either way....I had some horrific noises coming from the rear struts after I installed my kyb's when I got them apart turns out I left a washer out of the assembley...(just something to consider)
torque specs shouldn't cause any noise unless the bolts are nearly falling off, or over tightened by FAR. Good luck...use a breaker bar..or you will strip every bolt...TRUST ME on that one

It's easier to get the car in the air. No need to support the LCA with a jackstand. Just raise the car, wiggle things to try to hear what's loose, and re-tighten everything.
