Well I guess you learn something new everyday as they say. Can someone please tell me the correct way to do this as I just but a set in a car and have not drove it yet. I did tighten everything up while the car was on a lift and then set it back on the ground on the wheels.
From what I have learned, the LCA needs to be at ride height when the nut is tightened. This is because as the LCA moves up and down in normal driving, the bushing twists in the steel case. with the suspension at rest, the bushing is also at rest. If the LCA nut is tightened with the wheels hanging, once the car is on its tires, the bushing is already distorted. this means that the bushing is under tension at all times except with the tires hanging in the air, Duke boys style.
