Torquing monoball joints
Installing RSS LCAs (and a ton of other things) this weekend. Is it critical for the thrust pin on the outboard side, from the LCA through the wheel carrier, to be torqued at exact ride height - vs with some droop?
Car will be getting aligned and ride height set after this, so am debating whether to torque down at home or just snug and let the shop do it. These are single use-bolts so once torqued, that’s it.
Obviously the rubber bushings need to be done at ride height to prevent binding, but wondering if the same applies for these monoball and solid mounts.

I can't remember if I tried to torque that nut before, but I found this tool super helpful to reach a lot of the hard to reach suspension fasteners with a torque wrench:
