When installing rear trailing arm - tighten bolts first or after
Hi there. I'm redoing my suspension and in the process of changing my rear trailing arms. i noticed after i took off my stock ones, that the lca and little arm on the trailing arm, where aftermarket rear cambers kit fit on, are so tight that the arms can't move around
my question now is, when im swapping in new lca and rear camber kit, do i try to make it as tight as can be while trying to line it up to what stock was, or do i leave it loose and hand tighten all the bolts of the rear trailing arm and lca, THEN tighten them down.
help pls, much thanks!

well you can do it either way. but you will have to push the trailing are upwards to connect and get the bolts in place.

torque them loaded, on the ground.
first snug the bolts up, then loosen like a 1/4 turn. load the suspension, then torque.
