Post subject:  Check those noises!! ReCheck those bolts!!

So I have been hearing an odd noise in the drivers front suspension for a while now (don't ask how long...) but only under certain conditions so I jacked the KJ up yesterday to begin a series of needed repairs, took the wheels off today and began looking around and discovered the top strut bolts were really loose, I could turn them with my fingers! :shock: Not a good thing, but I believe re-torquing the bolts will resolve the noise I've been hearing, we'll see. Gonna do the other side too while I'm at it. :idea:

The message of this post is CHECK THOSE NOISES and RECHECK THE BOLTS for anything that has been off the Jeep. I know I am not the first to say it here but I just lived it so I thought I'd say it again myself. :banghead:

PS. anyone know the torque spec for those top bolts off the top of their head? :|
