Air Shocks Really Helped

Huh? Why would you need to do that? The arm is still moving in the same directions and distance, the mid-point of the arc is just 1" lower now than before.

That would also mean that you'd undo those bolts every time you jacked up the front of the car????...I don't think so.

I learned this through the years.You want them loose so when you set the car back on the ground the car settles without tearing/ripping the bushing in the lower control arm. Once the car is on the ground and settled,then you tighten them.
