Tight Trackbar

I installed a JKS Adj. Trackbar (front) but didn't use a torque wrench... can a tight trackbar can cause DW? what about the other suspension components??

if you didn't use a torque wrench, you most likely didn't tighten the bolts enough. 125-130 ft lbs is a lot of force and there is no way you can get that with a standard wrench.

So this can cause a DW...

There should be some moderator who speaks or understand spanish so anyone else (like me) who is not from USA can explain propertly what the problem and the symptoms are
