I know it should be at ride height to tighten the bushing bolts but what about installing the lcas, does it matter if the car is on stands vs a drive-on lift.

thanks

do you know how much torque is supposed to be on the lca bolts?

hey if you drive on the lift you wont be able to get the LCA off. and it doesnt matter if the car is off the ground. you can still install. and i dont know the torque specs sorry no help there.

yea dude..it does. I could get the bolts off but not on which was a pain in the *** , had to screw with it for ever. Do it level and it goes right on

So you're saying that you need to lift the car to get em off, but lower it back down to put em back on?

 

don't fully tighten the LCA bolts until the car is on the ground with the suspension loaded. Just leave a little play in the bolts until you drop the car. Your bushing will reward you for doing so. It's easier to put the car on stands and a jack under the center section because it's easier to manipulate the rear easier. Also do only one side at a time. It will save you a lot of grief.

Why would i not be able to get the lca off on a drive-on lift, the front of the lca came off fine during the first attempt at installing my sfc's
