I had to remove the front suspension control arm to replace bushings.
I red that you must tighten the CA rear bushing nut, front bushing bolt / nut, rear bushing bracket bolts only with suspension loaded: wheels on the car, and on the ground.
Does anyone have some tips as to how to access the rear bushing nut for final tightening?
I mean: If the car is off jack stands with the wheels on, I would not have any room to allow me to reach out to bushing nut inside the control arm bracket???

Thanks for the help
