Hi everyone, just looking for a little advice as I'm a noob but I like to try as much diy as I can.
Managed to change both lower control arms the other day, following an online video, question is all bolts etc were tightened with the vehicle off the ground then lowered, is this ok or did it need to be on the ground first. All the videos I have watched seemed to tighten while vehicle is off the ground.
Car drives fine, seems everything ok and no knocks etc.
One other thing, I changed the ball joint rubber covers while the arms were off and re-greased them, seems a good option as the rubbers were split but joints ok.
Many thanks
Rob
