My new uca’s!

well i followed the manufacturer’s installation of the uca and they torqued it without being on the ground. If it was an issue. I would think they would address it

 

For rubber bushings, they must be torqued at ride height. Polyurethane bushings and ball joints don’t matter. With rubber bushings, the rubber is bonded to the steel sleeves. When the bolts are tightened at ride height, the rubber is relaxed and can flex as the suspension moves up and down. If you tighten the bolts at full droop, the rubber is already stretched at ride height, and then when the suspension compresses, it twists the rubber farther than it’s designed to go.

Polyurethane bushings and ball joints are greased sliding surfaces surfaces and don’t matter.

 

FWIW, I torqued mine at ride height

 

With tires on? My tires are huge and don’t think i can get torque wrench in there ..if not I’ll have to usejack to compress spring. Which will not be exact ride height

 

Yes but I’m running a 2657516. I Would think if you placed the jack under the lower control arm that would work.
