Picked up new Bilstein front and rear shocks for my C1500.
The rear was simple and straightforward. The front however. I have everything tightened down as much as I can, I cannot get these bushings to crush and expand to the width of the washer. I am using a wrench while tightening and holding on to the top of the shock, but it’s slipping and starting to round.
I saw in the service manual these are only supposed to torque these nuts to 11Nm. So I am over torquing?
