Tighten bolts to factory specs?

[Loren]

I installed mine with the wheels in place AND the car on the ground.

If you're a somewhat experienced mechanic and can answer the question "how tight is tight" for any given bolt, you can get by without a torque wrench on stuff like this. I own two torque wrenches, but I didn't use one on this because I know it's not "critical" and it just needs to be "tight".

Things I always torque: wheels, critical engine parts (head bolts, connecting rod bolts, stuff like that), brake caliper mounting bolts (don't ask me why), front strut-to-hub bolts. Anything that's "mission critical" and likely to either come loose from undertorque or break from undertorque, I use a torque wrench on.
