Thanks for your help
Hi EJ-Fresno. The intent is to have the car resting on all 4 wheels before tightening. This places all suspension components in their loaded state. You could use the jack under the tires, this will get close, just not perfect. Certainly much better than current! Are you going to have the car aligned? If so then maybe alignment shop can loosen and retighten when car is on alignment rack.
