The first question I have is that I have read a few threads recommending the rear CAB bushing is tack welded to the control arm to keep it from slipping. Is this really necessary if using the Boge replacements?

Secondly, torquing the rear right CAB seems problematic due to access. I have read several interesting ideas. The one that appeals to me the most is to remove the bucket with the tires on the ground, torque the nut, and then reconnect the bucket. Is this a decent method? The other method of interest is trying to estimate the position of the control arm, torquing at that position and then installing. Are there any guidelines on how to estimate this position? Both sides of my car are disassembled right so i can't just look at the other side. I saw one suggestion of just laying the whole assembly flat on the ground?
