my t-rods were torqued properly no cracks at 90K miles cracks 20K miles after ES bushings the cracked arms with stock rods...how many miles? i dont think torque'ing has much to do with it, fwiw. the manual says 80 ft/lbs., i cant imagine overtorque'ing past 80 would hurt anything. if it was 40 and we were doing 100, then maybe? adj t-rods are cheap anyways...so argument is moot. stock bushings will always need replacing.
