ok... so I was correct when I first stated make sure you support the 
control arms before tightening the bolts down???

I would recommend anyone who has tightened it in the air....
Jack the car up.... put it on jack stands....
now put a jack under the control arm....
Loosen each nut.... jack the control arm to where the suspension is just
barely holding up the car... Tighten now!
Done...

Worth the time and effort IMO bushings look great after 1 year!

Later!
