I watched their install video and we didn't have them on tight. Matched for appearance to what they were showing of how the bushing should look. Could be that they were used and the bushings were over tightened before which caused vatigue, but they had tops 3K km on them so not too sure.

On a related note, I had BMW replace my stock RSM (under warranty) before we installed the KW's and omg did the master tech tighten them. We struggled to loosen them. When we installed them on the KW's with suggested torque I found that they were a little noisey. Tightened them up more than suggested and they operated much quieter and have been good ever since.
