| Just changing front upper arms - ride height set necessary? |
|
'05 Discovery 3 TDV6 S
I'm changing the front upper arms on my car - the lower arms having been changed prior to my ownership.
Is it necessary to set the height of the hub before torque tightening the 2x bolts on the upper arms - if the lower arms have already been changed?

Thank you sir.
Did OS yesterday, NS to follow at some stage later in the week. The front bolt (i.e towards front of car) was a royal pain to get on to - round the rear of the air strut...
Also took opportunity to replace front brake flexis - which was coincidetnally a very lucky idea, as I would have had no chance of separating the hose section from the old arm - the bolt was rusted/seized tight.
