Just my usual reminder...
If you the toe-link is loose, you install the nord-locks, or you just loosen the bolt to check it and re-torque it, make sure the car is sitting on it's wheels/tires (not with the car on jack-stands and the wheel drooping/hanging down).
The toe-link bolt is also the lower A-arm bushing bolt. All suspension bushings must be tightened with the car at ride height (sitting on the wheels), otherwise you will pre-load the suspension bushing and likely cause it to prematurely fail (and the pre-loading can mess up the suspension a bit).
If the bolts are already tight, and you are just checking the torque (and it's still tight) it isn't a problem.
Always tighten suspension bushing bolts with the weight on the tires.
