Rear Spring?
When changing out the rear springs, I removed the swing arm bolt to make it easier. Removing the springs by dropping this rear of the swing are is alot easier than with the special spring compression tool.
My question is, can I retighten this bolt while the car is jacked up, or do I need to tighten it while the car is on the ground (ie: under load). Also, anyone know the torque setting?
Just wondering about this, as I am off 1/2 inch of ride height from RR vs. FR. RR measures 23 1/2 and LR measures 23 (from bottom lip of rim to top of fender arch).
I really want to eliminate this 1/2 inch difference!
Thx
