When you're ready to tighten, there are pointer marks on the control arm and subframe-jack under the strut till the marks align, then torque the bolt.
When I am ready to tighten the lower control arm bolt and torque it the car needs to be on level ground with the full weight of the car compressing the suspension right?
So how would I tighten the bolt if I cannot crawl under and fit?
I was thinking about placing 2x4s under all 4 wheels.
Thx for the tips and what is the best way to go about removing the rear shock?
