I have no lift. I have all the tools, floor jack and heavy duty jack stands but currently have no garage and a short, steep, sloping driveway. The job is easier than me safely getting the car in the air and on stands unfortunately.
If I lift from the front center jack point on the crossmember in front of the oil pan, where do the jack stands go? I usually place them where the suspension meets the unibody, but can't because o working on the suspension.
Should lock-tite be put on the preload bolts prior to setting preload?
Thx

If the instructions don't say Loctite, don't use it. If you insist anyway because you're hardheaded, use 242 (blue) so you have a chance of disassembling it later.

The part of the arm that goes through the bushing HAS to be able to "spin" inside the bushing in order for the suspension to work properly. Or at least that's my understanding.

Actually I'm a lot more curious about the brace attached to the outside mount in the video...

Don't worry about loctite, the bolts have a pre-applied thread coating to keep them in place. Also regarding pre-load, the adjustment bolts preload the bushing into the housing and against the thrust washer, eliminating the gap between the two, this way the housing is compressed slightly against the thrust washer, for immediate response during movement when driving . You can do the pre-load while the car is up and it ideally should compress more as the car is lowered. I would still go back and check on the gap between the "washer" and the bushing after driving. I must have done something wrong and I had some gap and had to do some more adjustment. it's a great mod and works as advertised, especially from a steering feel standpoint. I took my car to Atlanta Motorsports park after install and even with squishy conti DW's it felt good.

Wait until you have cords showing on the inside (or outside) edge and you'll have your answer. I would not chance it. My car drove fine after I put in the Figs bushings, but the alignment was way out.

Does anyone else have any noises coming from these while going slowly over uneven pavement? Sounds like a creak, almost like a loose fender liner or something (but that is not the issue). Doesn't feel like anything is loose. Not really sure what is causing this. The noises seem to get quieter after a few minutes of driving. It is as it's worst when I first start driving in the morning. Maybe a lube issue?
