Not sure the question was really answered here, but I'm not sure that it's even possible to get at the bolts with the wheel on and the car is on the ground. At any rate, use another jack to bring the wheel up to level while the car is on the stands, then tighten the bolts. Some people claim this is not necessary as the rubber will turn in the sleeve. Not so on my car, and the "ears" the bolt goes through clamps everything firmly together. You want to minimize the amount of displacement of the rubber as the shaft turns back and forth.
