Rear upper control arm

What a ***** that is to install. Just did it yesterday and really couldn't figure out any way of torquing the bolts to factory spec. Got them as tight as I could by hand. It did finally solve my wheel hop and clucking issues.

how long was the bar/ratchet you used to tighten the bolts?

I used a 21mm wrench on the front bolt with another wrench coupled into the open end of the 21mm wrench to get more leverage. Tighten as much as I could that way. There was no way my torque wrench or any ratchet would fit on the front bolt and nut. For the rear bolt I tried using my torque wrench, but there wasn't enough room to swing it enough to torque the bolt. So I did the two wrench thing again and then put my electric impact wrench on it.
