A little grease wouldn't hurt and it may stop a squeak. Here's a good chart when you are in doubt about torque;

Thanks Jim, the reason I ask about this bolt is that it, as u know, is compressing a big rubber afixed to the bushing, smashing it, with a retainer washer so the torque is probly different. I dont know. Thanks

Maybe your bushing hasn't slid up the shaft far enough. It shouldn't be squashing the rubber too much. That bolt needs full torque.

due to budget cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been disconnected for non payment.
