When Earl helped me do my suspension, he introduced me to "NGA" for the big bolts.

Someone should explain what is going on here...

NGA = Not Going Anywhere. 

Units can be in Newton-meters, foot-pounds, or kilogram-force-angstroms.

I just had a field technician call and ask me what the torque spec was for a particular piece of 3/4" hardware.

it is impossible to get a torque wrench on that piece of hardware so......

had to tell him NGA

I've never heard of NGA but that's a good one!  I've used gutentight on a few things before.
