Metal bushing inside the poly or rubber bushings keeps you from over torque. So tell him to get them tight and shouldnt be an issue! Just dont wimp on it at like 25ftlbs!

we will have to get it on completely level ground. But looking at it yesterday it didnt look to do to much. Of course there was no before and after measurements, as he was in a hurry to get it done because he needed to be somewhere by 5.

but thanks for the help guys
