Default Adj. Front Trackbar Question

After installing an adj. front track bar do you have to re-tighten the trackbar bolts after a certain amount of miles?

Set your torque wrench to 125ft lbs and check it. After driving a day or so. You should be good. Also, I recheck mine among other stuff after any wheeling.

I went to lunch today and seen a nice lifted JK with 37 on it. 4 inch lift or what ever and it had spring spacers. I took a peek under his jk to see what he had. No adjustable control arms a front track bar bracket that I grabed and was lose as hell. So I know this thing had to drive pretty shitty going down the road. I could be wrong though but I doubt it because I had to do things to mine to get it to drive straight down the road with 35's. It is just scary knowing that I am driving past these people.
Ok, gotcha, was jokin

Sorry I apologize. This is my first Jeep and the first vehicle I have ever even picked up a wrench on. I apologize for coming to a forum where people share knowledge in order to LEARN.

Seriously, if your life consists of having the free time to come on a forum and insult someone because they are asking a valid question then maybe its time to get some new hobbies.
