Torque on rod bolts need to be consistent. Do every bolt the same. First torque each rod in a soft face jaws vise. Torque each bolt at least 3 times to torque specs, using the proper lube. Make sure to put lube on the threads but also on the mating faces of the bolt face and the rod surface it mates to. Carefully doing each bolt the same. Then if using stretch method torque each bolt to stretch spec. and record torque reading. Install at same torque and check stretch. Myself I'm an old timer and only use the torque. If you do also, just make sure of using lube on all mating surfaces and torque several times before install. And Good Luck
