Years ago, I replaced the control arm bushings on one of my 240's without tightening the rear nut with the bushing/nut under load. I had just tightened the nut with the arm off the car then just bolted everything up like I had removed it without any issues that I could tell. I did very well for years. I'm not replacing bushings on another 240 and just read somewhere of this load tightening procedure. I there any harm in not doing the load procedure? Thanks in advance.
