Control arms 700

Hi folks,

Doing my control arm bushings. I don't have convenient access to a concrete pad to work, so I have the idea of jacking up my car crooked, so that I can do each side with 3 wheels on the ground.

I would like to place a jack under the control arm, jack it up, and place a jackstand under the factory jacking point for stability. I think I will have enough room to use my breaker bar and torque wrench. After one side is done, I will lower it, torque it to spec, and jack up the other side.

Also: the fact that the control arms bear the weight during this exercise begs the question - can't I just use ramps?!?

Thanks!

Ari
