....note, the track bar bolts and LOWER control arms should be torqued to 125 ft/lbs, but the UPPER control arm bolts should be 75 ft/lbs instead....

I noticed that TF does not have this part in their install instructions. Is it essential to do this? What impact will it have if not done? Reason I ask is I did this install a couple weeks ago and when I saw this I wondered what I should be on the look out for since I didn't do this particular step.

The bolts could possibly work themselves loose which may eventually wallow out the mounting holes causing some play which could lead to death wobble (front track bar) and other miscl shakes, shimmies, vibrations, etc...

Also the bushings in the lower CA's can bind up during the install making for a stiffer and bumpy ride.

TeraFlex will update those instructions to suggest that.
