I just ran them down with my small electric impact where I couldn’t get the torque wrench on. So uppers I torqued lowers impact. Nothing loose in 3500 miles with extreme driving. I worked at a caddy dealership in the late 90s early 2000s so saw this a lot on the North Star cars so knew just get them really tight and won’t come lose again. Also maybe it’s how they get tightened I do mine with suspension loaded not with it hanging off the jack or jack stand. Just don’t see why so many have issues with coming loose again. Anyone wants to pm me I will be glad to answer any questions.
What kind of torque values do you think your impact hit them with? The factory torques are 74 and 89 i believe.

I'm going to go with these Nord Locks:
