I'm going to be replacing the front tension rods soon and just have a quick question. (It’s actually only the bushings that are knackered but thought I might as well change the whole arm)

I've read a few guides which advise that you should not tighten/torque the bolts until you put the tyres back on and lower the car to the ground or you will bust up the bushings. Has anyone ever had this problem? I just think it’ll be a bit difficult to tighten the bolts without the clearance for some leverage.
