So I've looked over all the DIY threads and I've noticed that some suggest tightening all the bolts when the car is on the ground while others say nothing about this. The FSM also seems to say that the bolts should be tightened when the wheels are on the ground.




So am I reading this correctly???? how am I supposed to get under the car and tighten everything when the car is back on the ground??? doesnt seem right

 

4 post lift?

 

doing this under jack stands

 

Yes. You need a 4 post lift to tighten those bolts with the wheels on the ground.

 

SPL or Whiteline bushings, this will not apply.

 

oem compression rods. So should i just jack up the front axles when tightening the bolts?

 

that or you could get some of those rhino ramps or whatever they're called.. or take it somewhere that has a 4 post lift. lol

 

i refuse to ever pay a mechanic for anything. if i've taken apart my engine myself im sure i can deal with a compression rod. so i guess i can just jack up the axles when tightening the bolts

 

for someone who has taken an engine out,etc.. supposedly, you sure are having a hard time with these compression rods and how you're supposed to do it lol.

 

I have a tenancy to worry about the slightest things my friend lol

 

i jacked up the spindle to line up the hole. this was with whiteline bushings.
