Control Arm Installation (Important Information)

[dogfish246]

Hey guys,

This is a big mistake that I learned about when I was doing the control arms on my truck so I wanted to share and hopefully educate people so they dont make the same mistake.
Changing out a control arm is easy so dont mess up the job by tightening the control arm with the wheel off the ground (suspension unloaded)
Let me know what you think!

Amen brotha! Probably the most common mistake wrench benders can make on a suspension.

Locking the bushings at full droop has the bushings at max design deflection at normal ride hight. Compress from there and you are begging for bushing failure.
