A-Arm Bolt Torque

The Radical Manual says 30 foot pounds but that seems a little tight to me as the A-arm doesn't move freely. I also notice at that torque the arm spins on the the bushing (bushing doesn't move). What are you guys setting them at?
thanks

I found that torquing them to the spec resulted in crushed inner spacers. Then the movement got stiffer. There is just not enough wall thickness to support that much tension (IMO)
I replaced the crushed inner spacers and hand tightened them until just tight enough.
