Replacing upper control arms in my 2003 Durango. I understand that the bushings should be tightened with some weight on the suspension.
As I have the wheel off - access is substantially easier. I have jackstands supporting the front side I'm working on, so could I theoretically just place a floor jack under the suspension assembly, pump away at it until the vehicle just comes off the jack stand, and tighten the bushings?
Or would it be best to just get the wheel back on, get the vehicle sitting level, and then tighten?
