Tony made a good point about making sure the axel is clean and greased so it is able to float in the fork foot clamp and find its center.
I do not torque the lower T-clamp more than 8 -10Nm. If the bolts are clean and anti-seized like they should be, this is adequate. Never had a problem on 3 GGs as the clamp area is quite large. You would be shocked to see how a forks internal anodizing gets wasted from running that clamp too tight. Every new bike I've set up had been over torqued.
