Hello !
I'm taking apart my whole rear suspension to clean it up and replace all the seized bolts and I was wondering how I should place the control arms before tightening the bolts.
Let me explain : If the rear suspension has no weight , all arms are hanging so if I tight the bolts right there when I'll put the car back on it's wheels the bushing will be twisted all the time even if the car is standing still , option 2 if I put the car on it's weight and thight the bolts , now when the car will be parked the bushing will have no tension on them , when the suspension will compress the bushing will twist but will comeback to neutral position when the suspension is not moving ( parked ) .
I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to explain.
Let me know what you think ! B)
