Plug Wires And Tie Bar Torque

[DEEGO]

Hi 3GEE'RZ,

I recently replaced the spark plugs on my 87 DX. The cap, rotor are still new and wires are ok upon inspection. I keep feeling like I should've replaced them anyway. Any suggestions? Also I bought a 90 Accord rear tie bar. I was reading a post where a fellow 3 GEE'R added one. I was searching on the forum and also in the service manual and I cannot find the torque spec for that. Can anyone advise? Thank you in advance!

does bolt TQ even matter with a tie bar? i dont think it does with a strut tower bar, so i dont see why it would with a tie bar. someone please tell me im wrong so i will have learned something new today.

The bolts that attach the rear lower control arms to the body are 40ft/lbs.

Ok, so ill go with 40lbs for the tie bar, Thank you very much! Any word on the plug wires?

Your wire inspection should have been done with an ohmmeter. If they came in under 25k ohms, then you should be fine. They are a 60,000 mile inspection item, not a replacement item, so again, you should be okay. I always replace at 60k, but I'm kinda OCD like that. If you start to have running issues, those items would be the first place I'd check.
