Any pic of where these exact nuts/bolts are that need to be clocked? I don't want to just start jacking with stuff.These pivot points are as follows:
FRONT: (anywhere there are rubber bushings)
Front Radius Control Arm - inner mount
Front Lower Control Arm - inner mount
REAR: (anywhere there are rubber bushings)
Upper Camber Link - inner and outer mounts
Toe Link Outer Knuckle Bushing
Rear Control Arm Front Inner Mount
Rear Control Arm to Knuckle Mounts
:cheers:

I was thinking about how l would do this (safely) with only one set of ramps and figured with some extra 2x12 remnants l have on hand l just may be able to swing it.Darn great tip, but gonna have to pay someone to do it. Load and level in the garage is a toughy.
I tried that. The issue for me was that trying to torque some of those bolts to 183ft/lbs my big torque wrench is too long to use without more room under the car at the tricky angles having the wheels on leaves you with.I was thinking about how l would do this (safely) with only one set of ramps and figured with some extra 2x12 remnants l have on hand l just may be able to swing it.
I would stack and fasten the 2x12 pieces to match the ramp heigth as close as possible for level, not going to sweat it if it's not perfectly level.
I'll first back onto the ramps, put the car in gear and set the e-brake. Using my jacking rails I'll then get the front up and position the stacked 2x12's (with built in wheel chocks) under the front tires.
And of course a pair of jack stands under the rails for safety's sake and then get down to business.
Good point and l should have thought about this as l've been in that situation before doing similar under vehicle work.I tried that.

I'm just having the shop that is doing the alignment do it for me.
PM SentSo where if l may ask did you find the torque values for these fasteners.
