Paul,
I drove my car up on to ramps and then torqued the bushings. The torque wrench fit ok in most spots and I used an educated guess on the others.
When you work on the front bushings---remove the control arms with the rear brackets attached. Notice the angle the arms are preloaded before you remove the aarms from the brackets!!!!!! Then replace the bushings and return the arm to brackets and torque before installing in the car. This is the only way I can think of the torque the rear bushings. Trust me. I tried it on the car first time. Can not do! (suggestion from Steve Seekins, VCOA President, thanks Steve)
