Question is: do you have to load the front suspension when you tighten them, like for the rear control arms?

I can't see why. After re reading Bentley for the rear, it stated to load the rear for the control arm, not for the trailing arm. There was no reason to remove the control arm to change the trailing arm.
Don't see any reason to remove the front control arm to change the front trailing arm either. If you do remove or loosen the control arm though, then yes load the control arm before tightening it.
