With a little help from Triton540i, I pressed M5 bushings into the Meyle HD arms and installed my worn out arms yesterday. The highway shimmy is 95% gone and the brake shimmy and low speed clunk are gone. BTW, my impact hammer and tie rod puller kit are the best $160 bucks I ever spent. The toughest bolts and ball joints have no chance against my wrath.

QUESTION: I understand the critical load factor, but how significant is the torque? My only concern is that I wasn't able to torque the bushings to the full 94 ft/lbs as I didn't have enough room under the car for proper leverage. I got them torqued (yes under load) to 80 ft/lbs. I'm a stickler for following spec, but I just couldn't get them any tighter and had to get to a meeting.
