My recommendations only pertain to original style rubber bushings and not most polyurethane bushings(see my response to Ron Kwas' post in this thread).

Your bushings should be fine after you loosen the nuts and bolts and then tighten them with the weight on the wheels.

Since I don't have a drive on lift, I use a set of heavy duty wooden boxes we had a carpenter friend build for us.

Whatever you use to hold the car off the ground, please be careful.

A tip for all of you DIYers, I strongly suggest that even with high quality floor jacks and jack stands that you don't work on a car without someone being within earshot to help in case of an emergency.
