Your description of how you torqued them does not sound right.

Yeah, I was not liking how the adjustment worked, I will have to pull it a part and re do it. My instructions were 50 ft pounds and back off 1/4 turn ..... I didn't as it seemed loose but I did only have it snug. I also did not do initial torque with sleeve out. DSP40 rears.
