Post subject:  Question on Installing rear shackle bushings

Assuming I have the car high enough, and using the floor jack to lower the rear end to get access to the spring bushings

My question is: Should I be concerned with anything torquing as I lower
the assembly.

Should I lower one side at a time or both? I don't want to have anything
twist out of alignment preventing me from raising the assembly to bolt it back onto the frame?

Thanks for any replies.

If the front bushings and springs are in good shape it is pretty easy. Lots of times the shackle bolts snap. Poly bushings can be a tight fit,,,use lots of lube. I do one side at a time. The shackle design is kinda self aligning.
