1964 Dodge B body--When I put new bushings in the upper and lower control arms, and the strut rod, I am pretty sure that when I torqued everything down, the car was on jackstands. I now find that they should have been tightened with the car weight on the tires ( suspension) I guess this would be to not have to much twist on the rubber bushings. Is there a way to re-seat the rubber bushings where they need to be without tearing everything apart? Thanks for any help......................MO
 
You should be able to loosen and retorque the suspension with the weight on the suspension.
