Ian,

Yes, you will get the same results, because the trolley will be supporting the same weight that the groung would support.  The car won't know the difference between sitting on four trolley jacks, and sitting on the ground.

Hi all

Accepted practice is to torque the bolts with the weight of the car on the ground. Would I get the same result if I used the trolley jack to compress the strut / A arm into it's normal position and then torque them? My reason for asking is that it's going to be difficult getting access to the bolts when the car is on the ground, I don't have an inspection pit or drive on ramps. Any suggestions please.


Thanks

Iainn
