Hello Everybody.

I'm about to change the front wishbone's on my C-Max, And i've been given conflicting info on how:

Do i tighten the bolt's with the full weight of the car on the suspension, or without?

Thank you

    When I do this I lower  it down on to the wishbone on to a axel stand then tighten them up so its a yes

    Yep, as above, the front pivot bolt definitely needs to be torqued with the suspension loaded.

    Not done one in a while, but I either lowered on to my ramp (caravan levelling ramps) or I could reach with the wheels on the ground. This was for the MK2 Mondeo and MK5 Escorts/Orions.
