Cool. I might have mine back on the ground tonight if all goes well. I have the drivers side all done now. All I need to do on the passengers side now is the balljoint, integral link and final torque. Hopefully I'll have less of a headache with the IL this time.


Speaking of torque - to those who have done this. Are you preloading your suspension with a floor jack to a previously "measured ride height" (from fender lip to center of wheel) or are you doing this with all the weight back on the wheels? Those nuts look impossible to get to with a torque wrench of all things with the X on the ground without a lift.

I noticed that the non-wheel carrier side with the through-bolts looks like it really traps the bushing in there and will not allow the arm to pivot at all. So when the suspension moves - it's actually stretching/twisting the rubber bushing in there. Is that right? I'd think that would make the bushing fail very quickly.
