I am replacing all of the bushings on my 1990 240 sedan.The manuals [Blue and Green] say to lower the car on to the ground to torque the bolts.Are they kidding!These instructions were obviously written for someone with a "special" lift.You know the type that can raise the car while it is still on a lift. What's a shade tree to do? I don't think I will have enough clearance to crawl under the car,and be in the right position to use a torque wrench.Maybe the rear might be ok but the front control arms?Your thoughts please.TIA
