Default Installed Vogtland Gt's 2 weekends ago. Slight clunking at low speeds.What is the
torque on the 3 nuts that attach the upper plate to the body (removed the whole shock/plate assembly for the install). Pretty sure we got the uppersock to bushing/plate (allen screw) at the right torque (44 lbs?), but can't find a listing for the plate to car torque required. Help??
