Q about upper control arms installation-Do I need to pre-load the wheel during tightening?
I heard that the car needs to sit on its own wheels not on a lift when tightening the bolts of control arm bushing end to mounting bracket. Is this true and what's the correct procedure? Thanks in advance.

I usually jack the arms close to the position that they will be in when the car is on the ground. At that point I torque the bolts down.
