Tightening wishbone bushes.

[Pink_Floyd]

Torqing up the bolts on the wishbone bushes should be done with the car at the correct ride height. As the body is not on the chassis its not easy to do. So if I set the bottom wishbones parallel with the ground will that be approximately correct.
Std bushes on rear. Front is powerflex so is not important.

What bushes have you got the std ones or something like powerflex. If the later they use a bearing arrangement so would not matter.

I put a jack under the hub, jacked up the suspension until the distance from the top edge of the wheelarch to the centre of the hub was the same as it is when the car's sat on it's wheels, then tightened the bolts.
