Hello,

I am currently in the middle of replacing several components on an S13 I just purchased, like the oil pan gasket, T/C rods, tie rods, control arms and front anti-sway bar.

I noticed in the service manual that for some of these components it is advised to tighten the bolts after the car has been put back on the ground........

How in the world am I supposed to do that, the car sits so low that it seems impossible. Could I please get some feed back on this problem? Is it very necessary to do that? I understand that once the full weight of the car is on the new components that things will bend and move slightly, but I don't have a pit that I can work in to accomplish this goal.

Thanks for the help!
