Stressing Metallic Sound When Turning
So...came back from the 'Ring a few weeks ago and the next morning on my way to work that when I turned the wheel *at all* to the right there was a very audible (inside AND out) ... sound, that sounds like i don't know how to describe it other than stressed metal. Like if you wind a spring too tight. WHICH HAS ME WORRIED AS SHIT. THe thing is...I don't know if I knocked something loose or tightened too tight/not tight enough when I pulled the pin and installed the Turner shim washers.
- I had the car on a lift, so there was no 'preload' on the strut at all when I tightened the 3 strut tower bolts. - I torqued those to 35nm - installed the Turner bolts and washers (1 inside/2 outside, each strut) - I didn't have the torque values for these bolts, so I tightened them til they weren't easy to tighten anymore, then a 1/4 turn more is the best way i can describe it. Anyone have proper torque values for these? (both the 3 tower bolts and the 2 camber bolts, as well as the "fit bolt" as it's referred to on realoem) Did I do something out of order and cause undue stress somewhere? I'll see I can get a short video of what I'm talking about. I'll be getting under the car again this weekend to hopefully find where/what is getting stressed and relieve it! Any other tips and tricks are always appreciated. in case you didn't know what bolts i was talking about

IIRC, the bottom bolts are in the 100+ ft-lbs range for torque.

Thanks!
The more I think about it, I think the order of what I did I think is causing the the tower bolts to creak. I pulled the pin/pushed the strut, torqued then did the camber shims. Seems like that might be causing a bit of extra stress up top. We'll see!
