Front control arm bolt tightening?

[dghii]

Just got done with this same project. You are correct about not being able to get a torque wrench in there!

Inner bolt and nut need to be tightened with the car on the ground. If you can't do it that way, at least get a jack under the hub and lift the hub up to put a load on the assembly.

Like you, I ended up torquing the inner bolt and nut as tight as I possibly could.

Does anybody read the posts? Dude said, in 2017, he had the car on ramps when torquing.

Ramps. Ground. Ramps. Ground.

Anyone see the connection here?
