Putting A arms back on after installing new bushings.
I think ??? the right way to do the final tighten up to spec is to have the full weight of the car on the suspension. Would it be sufficient to put a jack under the A Arm and jack it up a bit to simulate the car being on the ground (load up the suspension) and then final tighten up? Also, where can I find torque specs for the 3 bolts and 1 Allen type screw that hold the A Arm to the car body? Google gives a bunch of sites with varying numbers. Thanks for the help. ED |

ED You can find PDF versions of the Factory Workshop manual online. I think what you're looking for is in Group 4 Front Axle.  |
