Upon installing a rear suspension kit, the Haynes manual says, with the
wheels on and vehicle on the ground, to throw a body into the vehicle
(getting the laden weight correct) and then tighten everything to the
proper torque recommendations. Not being one of the "wee people" --
dwarf and/or leprechaun and not having a lift in my garage, I would like
to know what others have done. If I'm to follow the manual literally, I
suspect the answer is to crawl into the trunk with a torch and make an
access way through the inner fender well. Since this is unacceptable, I
guess everyone else just tightens everything, to specs, while the car is
on jacks??
