The instructions say to torque the bolts while the suspension is under load. We lowered the car onto jackstands for this step:


Other thoughts:
Using the proper socket wrench for the top of the front struts can make things much easier.
The bolts at the front of the trailing arms were a ***** to break loose.

Other than that, just follow the instruction and you should be fine. It took us about 3 hrs to complete the job, but we were rookies.

I would like to say thanks to my nephew for diving under the car and doing the hard work. While under there, he said, "I'm having fun!" I didn't mind letting him stay there. Now, I owe him a trip to Hooters.
