On sls cars the sls valve adjust does the height.
I just made the axle shafts about level on the bench and tightened
everything down. It is hard enough to get it all tight on the bench; like
10 fasteners of varying sizes per side. Complete pain. It is about right
once the sls is adjusted to
The rubber acts as a spring, if you clamp the links while they are hanging down
the rear will sit high with the wheels "tucked in". Drives very poorly. Jack
the wheel carrier to normal ride height before tightening.

it is so that in normal resting position, there is no torque on the
rubber. Normal running will then twist the rubber one way or the
other. If you tighten them down in full down position, the rubber is
always torqued at rest, and overtorqued at full compression. It is
only at rest when
That is exactly correct. It comes from every WSM I have owned. They
want the rubber to be in the driving position - I used to know the
complete reasoning but it's lost in the Way Back Machine.

yes. all 10 links are to be loose until the weight of the car is on
them. then tighten. most easily done if you have lotsa 2x8 - 2x12
blocks, or an alignment rack, etc. Good catch!

That’s what I thought. I know they do on a 123 etc.

I checked it on the e420 and they were pretty flat. I think you just dont
want to have them all the way down.

Hmmm, I thought the torque of the control arm nuts and bolts was supposed
to be done with the car resting on all four wheels, in "ready to drive"
condition (nothing loaded but full fuel tank and all fluids topped up,
spare tire and tools in place). I think that the rear axles have just a
slight
Yeah, they came out fine. Getting them back in without a compressor is the
question. One is supposed to torque all the bolts with the axles
horizontal; this means all the bushings are holding the control arms up
when the subframe is bolted back in. If you put the springs in before
jacking the
Is it possible to get these back in without the compressor? I torqued
everything with the subframe on the bench and there is no way I am doing
that again, the control arm wont go down all the way even with my 100lb kid
standing on the hub. I guess I am looking for a compressor tomorrow.
