The right way to Clock RTA bushings?
I'm doing my RTA bushing on my DB8 Integra tomorrow, and was trying to look up the correct way to mark the stock bushings before I remove them. I'm lowered on Tein coilovers btw. Can I just put the car on jack stands and load the suspension with a floor jack and make my marks on the old bushing?

Re: The right way to Clock RTA bushings?
when you load the suspension, do you lift it up all the way until it comes off the jackstand slightly? My old bushings are torn on the bottom and I got some new ebay ones that look exactly like hardrace. They are pretty stiff and were only 40$. I initially bought some 15$ ebay ones but they're the same crap I'm taking out, which only lasted about a year. They are really soft rubber. The dogbone moves freely horizontally.

You can also use a measuring tape.
Like...measure the hub centre to fender arch while the car is on the ground before lifting it up to work on it.
Then, to make your marks, Jack up the LCA til you get the same hub centre to fender arch measurement.
The car will come off the jackstand too early if you jack up on the LCA too far inboard. So...measuring helps with accuracy.
