RE: Ask the Car Guy @socky June 7
thanks for your reply , I would use my jack stands anyhow . Like you said it's to dangerous otherwise .
another question that I have, I think I remember that , when placing the new suspension arm is it correct that I have to wait before tightening the bolt and nut of the turning point of the arm, and to tighten the bolt and nut when the car is back lowered to the ground so that the suspension arm is in it's normal position, otherwise I force the rubber ? right ? thanx for the help greets
Yes, That is correct. If a bushing is clamped in place by the bolt, you will want to have the car on the ground when you go to fully tighten the bolt. This will allow the rubber to be in a relaxed state when the vehicle has weight on the suspension and make the rubber last longer.
thank you , for the second opinion and your contribution to the community mate
