 Which half?    If the correct ride height is set, that is off the jack
stands. That also includes adjusting the torsion bar bolts to get to the
ride height. The rubber "stock" style bushing would then be in a neutral
position, with no pre load, and then you torque the lower control arm
nut. Am I wrong?   Tom in Dallas
