All right, first a bit of history.
I previously added some WJ LCAs and consequently spread the axle-end and frame-end brackets a bit wider (per Gojeeps's writeup). The bushings went bad in those control arms, and I bought new standard XJ arms. Putting those in involved pulling the brackets back together a bit to fit stock XJ arms. I know I'm now over the factory torque spec., and when the rear bolts are out I can "bounce" the arms when the axle-end bolts are in. In other words, with the rear bolts out, I can push down on the arms and they will spring back up. Should they do that, or does that mean I've overtorqued the front bolts?
I can't remember what they were like before I started fiddling with them.
