If giving the bolts a quick tweak to tighten is it best to have the wheel off the ground
or can it be done standing?

[rich_DTM]

doesn't matter can do either!

[vinny_69]

make sure you use quality tools,un like someone
if you run into any bother supertyres dunstable road did my pass side for 30 squid

[Robs-se]

Why, what happened to you? When the mechanic did my right side one the pillock took out the rear bolt, then decided to reverse the car and wore away the inner lip on the bumper and liner, twot

As with most bushed suspension components its BETTER to tighten them ON the ground in the resting position to prolong bush life.

Already broken the captive nut, the thread got screwed so had to punch a hole in the floor and use a longer bolt and self locking nut
bit of a sh!tty job as well

[Calibra_Mike]

I find a blow torch sorts out nuts/bolts that wont budge...

[vinny_69]
