Default Skunk2 Pro camber kit - how do you torque the bolts?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get some feedback from guys who run Skunk2 pro camber kits (front) on their ITR's. For those who've never had any issues ...

how do you torque your allen key bolts that hold the ball joint plate in? example, by hand
or some sort of drill/gun

How much do you torque it? is hand tightening enough?

How often do you check it

Any other tips on maintenance?

Thanks!

i only check mine when i do my alignments and i dont use a torque wrench i just get them good and tight and ive never had any issues....... even with them slapping my shock towers every once in a while

and the only tool i use is a wrachet with a really long extension with an allen socket on the end from underneath the car while its on the rack, using a big pry-bar to adjust the camber when its loose enough

Thanks for ya feedback guys. I was always worried that I cant get it tight enough with a little allen wrench and didnt want to over tighten and not be able to adjust it

I just do it by hand with the Allen Key. Had no problems at all.
