Cutting strut rod bushings for correct geometry?

That's good advice on tightening the bolts when the car is resting on the wheels but I feel like it would be tough getting to them once the car is on the ground. I'm doing all this in my garage and I'm sure I have far less tools and equipment than you guys.

I'll take some pics of my strut rods and post them so I can know for sure what type I have. I feel like it's the '72-down ones but I was definitely able to install sleeves for the bushings that slid over the rod.
