Do you know that you got the bushings to their new nominal set points by doing that? You'd have to measure wheel center to fender at ride height and jack the suspension up that much. Not sure if you can do that and keep it on stands. Maybe with the bars disconnected it's possible.
I have my BMR springs on and am ready to "clock" the bushings.
If it is not boxed and noted in the picture, then it really doesnt need to be indexed.
Anytime the height is changed, the bushings should be re-clocked. Doing springs is the usual case for this.
Well yes, but the issue is that you cannot replicate the loaded height with a jack.
They have to be reset to new nominal positions. If you don't, the rubber will be preloaded and can hurt the ride and in some cases, prevent the suspension from settling.
And don't forget, premature bushing failure.
I know there is no exact answer, but can I do the work at one location, and then drive, say, 10 miles to a second location where I can use a 4-post lift to clock the bushings?
Hoping to get some info on the best way to do this, if you don't have a lift that puts weight on all four tires,,this pic only shows the rear,,,,wondering if everyone does this , including shops.....
The alternative is to jack up the control arm to where it would sit if it were loaded.
