How do I torque the UCA bushings with the tire on ?

I was told to toque the UCA bushings AFTER I set the ride height and while the car was on the groud. This prevents the bushings from being "clocked".

There is no room to get a torque wrench in there, however.

All that I can think of is to put the car on a jack stand and then jack up the LCA so that it is in the same postion as when the car is on the ground.

Thanks

Jack on the LCA with the wheel off works. You can also use a reg wrench to partially torque them with the car on the ground, then jack up and torque. I never use a torque wrench, FWIW, just crank em.
