These type of arms with rubber bushings need to be torqued at ride height so the rubber is at a neutral state. Otherwise they will be in a constant state of bind, creating some of the effects you mentioned in your feedback.


This is known as timing the bushings. And it should be done any time an arm is removed or if there is a ride height change due to lowering springs.
Yes, they were torqued at ride height. The FE4 arm bushings, from what I could tell, were about where they should’ve been at ride height as well.
