as long as the bolts are tight enough not to come lose an exact torque doesnt matter,or whether you retighten them
Ok, but could it be too tight as well? I had a note on the MoT about a play of the left front droplink and after I changed it the creaky noise disappeared for a while and now it‘s back. ARb were changed last year, no help, wishbones changed no help and LR mentioned tie rod ends would be ok still. The bushes on the rear side of the
wishbone were changed as well.

youd strip the nut threads if it was,cheap new links often dont last very long,get someone to rock the car hard whilst you feel various components any play you will feel
 
As James said, cheap drop links will last 3 or 4k miles if your lucky.
Thought Febi-Bilstein would be better quality and not that cheap. I think LR mentioned it once as an alternative. Ok will check and see, drove quite a lot last time.
