All around this on my search so maybe you guys recall a link:
1) Replacing my four items stated above (rear swaybar and lateral links). Do I put the car on jack stands with the wheels hanging or do I use ramps with the vehicle weight on the suspension?
My plan was to use jack stands at the rear locations before the wheels and pull the rear wheels off. Try to match up the new lateral links with the old and install. I'll get the torque specs from another post.
2) Where do I put my jack to lift the rear end so I can place jack stands correctly? The rear diff?
Using genuine FMC parts but can't believe they don't give you new nuts given the $!
Boots are split on the originals. 03 LS w/ 53k.
3) Should the alignment be done at the dealer due to the knowledge required to get it correct? Have installed new upper control arms, swaybar links, tie rods ends, brakes and rotors.
