Default Impact Wrench

How many LBS of torque do you need in an impact wrench to open rusted nuts and bolts that are required to do suspension?

For suspension, it's really hard to say. Sometimes the lower LCA bolt is really REALLY tight and stuck on. Even guns with 800+ ft-lbs or torque can't get them off. If your bolts are all normal, a run of the mill ~350 torque gun will work. With the really tight ones, just use a breaker bar to help out.

If you have all of the above mentioned, you will have no problem taking any bolt off... unless of corse your like me and you break it. Which just sucks eternal ***.
