how much torque should i tighten the bolts that hold the tie rods to the lower control arm brackets and where it connects to the bar. and how my preload should i set it at.

 

Why dont you contact jim himself or check the drag racing forum.

 

I'd torque the bolts to oem specs. and set preload by hand. Start with a couple turns and see what results you get before you keep crankin on them.

[e] Preload is toward the front of the car (shorten the rods)
