I've got a totally restored suspension bolted up to the car and everything is just mounted with with a snug twist of the wrench. Enough so it stays together when I roll the car around. Engine isn't in yet, so the car isn't carrying all the weight. What do I do at this point? Way too early for an alignment. Do I just tighten everything where it's at or is there a smarter way to get it close to right? I figure a full alignment will be in order after the car is actually able to go down the road, but will the initial mileage be with a car that's go wheels pulling in different directions?
