Default Skunk2 Camber Kit Question

i just recently purchased a brand new pro series kit and i had a question.how much do the bolts (yellow arrows) have to be tightened down? are they supposed to be a bit loose or tightened down hard? this is my first time doing this work myself. i already have it all bolted on my car.

If you talking about the nuts that go on those two bolts the torque specs for a dc are 47lbs.

Just to make sure, you are referring to the two bolts that are pointing upwards right. Or are you talking about the two bolts on the sides of the upper control control arm that are holding the two bolts.

I was refereing to the two bolts pointing upwards. Those two bolts go through the shock tower. So you have to pop your hood, and put the nut from on top of the shock tower, ant tighten from there. So once the car is on the ground then it shouldn't be hard at all.

Sorry about that then, i have no idea. I think that they should be pretty tight but don't overdo it. But don't take my word for it, im not 100% sure. Sorry
