"True" mechanics, dont use torque wrenches for stupid **** like that. Its not critical, and is not going to come apart and fail unless you have little flimsy arms that cant tighten things down. its very rare for any REAL mechanic doing it for a living to use a torque wrench for much more than lug bolts and cylinder head bolts, lower intake gaskets on pushrod engines.
Dont fool yourself, specs are there for a guideline not "omg every tech uses a torque wrench for every little bolt on the whole car." There there so dumbasses dont break bolts off or leave wheel lugs loose. Im sure you use a torque wrench on your battery terminals too right lol....

Really....you had to dig 4 years back to bring up some old thread to say nothing. Don't be one of those new people who goes around digging up 10 year old threads....

Haha.. as long as this thread is dug up. I'd recommend against putting your jack stands in those positions. After doing this each time for my repairs.. I had a creak and found that subframe bolt to be out of spec. No more creak when it's tight enough.

If you're going to do work on your car, take the extra 2 minutes and torque on the bolts no matter what any airhead tells you. When engineers design and build cars they specify torque values based on the metal strengths of the bolts used etc., if you listen to commander knot head who obviously knows nothing about engineering and mechanics your bound to do most jobs wrong. This type changes his oil filter every other oil change.

The manners of a Barn Animal
You ignorant jacknapes, all you losers know how to express yourself is with foul language and displaying you were more than likely hatched not born.Just another uneducated loser. Keep it up, I'll ask the moderator to remove you permanently.

Your not worth the trouble, **** off....., try contributing something useful to the forum, like helping somebody. Instead of dragging on 4 year old threads.

That's a great way to win friends and influence folks on the forum...insult all of us in one swoop. Congrats in alienating yourself over something as meaningful as "jack stands".
