Thank you for your comment. Before tightening, the lever must be installed in its previous position when the car is on its wheels. Best Regards, Autodoc team
I have just removed my lower control arms on the rear and for some reason now the nuts won't tighten down on the bolts. They turn about 3-4 turns on then become extremely still. This has happened to all 4 bolt from the left and right lower control arms. Am I missing something??

Great videos. I’m confused as to why the shock and lower arms had to be removed just to remove the upper arm.
Thank you for your question! They were removed in order to access to the bolt shown on 7:49 in our video. Best Regards, Autodoc Team.

How much do you have to jack up the rear axle before tightening the upper control arm bolts?
