not really.

the idea of tightening under load is to make sure once the bushing is snug to the arm with the car sitting on the ground the bushing is not twisted in such a way the rubber is under constant stress wanting to straighten out which over time causes the rubber to split from the metal shell shortening the life of the bushing
