Kazama tension rod install

[xyrho]

so i just have one question.... i found a tension rod install thread, but on that thread it was saying that i shouldnt torque or tighten the bolts until the wheels were back on and the car was back on the ground...

"PAY ATTENTION TO THIS! DO NOT TIGHTEN OR TORQUE THE BOLTS UNTIL YOU PUT THE TIRES BACK ON AND LOWER THE CAR TO THE GROUND OR YOU WILL BUST THE HELL OUT OF ANY RUBBER OR POLY BUSHINGS THAT YOU HAVE!!!!"

now i am just thinking that how would i be able to get my butt under my car to tighten the bolts when the car is on the ground?? hahayeah just to reiterate im installing the Kazama adjustable tension rods.

so yeah any advice on how to do this install would be greatly appreciated.

How about sharing your answer then with the rest of us.

the answer is to get 4 jackstands and put them under the lower control arms, towards the wheels so that the car will be resting on the suspension instead of the chassis.

Yes the information about the porper way to install the rubber bushing stock tension rods is correct. With the Kasama tension rods that is not nessaccary. the Kasama units have hemispherical rod ends and they are free to rotate and will not bind if you install and torque them with the wheels off of the ground.
