Okay friends. I have a 92 civic ex that I replaced the struts and lcas on.. now I'm to the part where I need to torque things up and I'm not really sure where to set the lcas before I torque it all together. Help please !!!

 

What u mean where to set? You mean like clocking bushings?

 

I mean I am supposed to put weight on the lcas before I torque the nuts and bolts so I don't damage the bushings right, but how do I know when I have it correct?..

 

Put the car on the ground then torque it.

 

leave the car on jack stands. if you only have 2 jackstands, lift both rear wheels up, not left/right like 1 front and 1 rear.

then use your jack under the suspension, lift the suspension until just before that corner lifts from the jackstand, then tighten.

 

I wonder if the OP means how much to tighten the bolt before putting weight on the car and then torquing to spec. The answer is, just tighten it up snug with a small ratchet, then put weight on it, then torque to spec. Same as a lug nut.

 

I think he was probably asking how to compensate vehicle weight on the suspension. You need to simulate the vehicle being on the ground so the bushings don't prematurely wear. If you have a lowered car good luck putting the vehicle on the ground and torquing suspension parts down, you will need to have the vehicle on jack stands and lift up the suspension separately which simulates the vehicle being on the ground

 

Ah... well in that case, yea, stick a jack underneath as previously stated.

 

Or on a lift. But yeah your correct
