Hello, I'm making progress on the 544 restoration, got the car back from the paint shop, added about 70 pounds of dynamat and have started building the front suspension.

My question is how tight should the upper a-arm (control arm?) threaded bushings be? If the photo uploaded, they are the parts circled in red. Right now, I have tightened them "all the way" (flush against the a-arm to around 50 foot pounds).

Kingpins have been rebuilt, all parts cleaned and painted, new poly bushings and new volvo shocks. Anything else I should address at this point?

Thanks for your help!
Mike
