Hi Alex,

Correct and if you're a purist then best to load both sides the same, ie. both front wheels safely up on ramps or blocks. You want it loaded so that the pressed in rubber bushing at the chassis is locked in place close to the neutral position so as not to unduly stress the rubber. I also clean the eye in the control arm with a wire wheel to remove any dirt and grunge. I'm sure you know this, but I'll mention it anyway, chock the rear wheels then lean heavily into both sides of the front to make sure it's stable before going underneath and heaving on the torque wrench.

Glad you found your problem. First time I replaced mine they were obviously shot and as I vaguely recall the right is usually worst, presumably because it sees more rough pavement near the edge of the road. Since them I'm a bit more careful to check them every couple of years once they get older, replacing them as soon as the exposed rubber starts to look seriously checked. It's both usage and age that cause the rubber to deterioriate as well as the quality of the bushings. Both my 940s are probably on their third set of cone bushings now, the last one done just a few months ago. I've yet to have a rear bushing tear, but always check them in a vise on the bench to be sure.
