Reinstalling control arm with new bushings and ball joints

Post by sasjzl »

Hope all is well for everyone.

I am re-installing my control arms with new bushings and ball joints and wanting to know if anyone has any famous last words. I had the bushings installed by my local indy and am just bolting it up. I know that there is some point at which I need to lower it down on to my wheel ramps to put pressure in the right place. What I am wondering is what should I leave untightened. Al three of the attachment points, front, rear bushings and ball joints? I have done some due diligence searching and have not seen anything specifically on this.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
