Default 94 Accord - suspension questions

Been having fun with my 94 Honda Accord suspension, tie does, lower ball joint, wheel bearing, brake lines, rotors, cv axle shaft. Throwing her back together, finding a lot of info online, working from the Chilton manual.

What is the procedure for these guys? At what point do I tighten the bushings? In Chilton torque is 22lbs ft (outer nuts) and it notes "align upper arm anchor bolt with the mark on the upper."

Does this mean I align these boys with the mark, torque, 'em and then install the arm by tightening the upper control anchor bolts?
Thanks

I believe the term is loading the suspension. In order to do this you leave any nuts and bolts that touch bushings hand tight. Then lower the car so the suspension is loaded, or as it would sit with the cars weight on it.

I usually put a jack stand under the lower control arm where the strut fork bolts to the arm and then lower the car onto that. Ensure that you can still get to the lower strut fork bolts.
