Does this article reflect the points you are both making? It talks about the rubber bush working in 'rotational torsion'. And a polyurethane bush working in a quite different way.

It's certainly been an education for me all this stuff.

@t-tony as most of us don't have a 4-post ramp to tighten the bolts up with the suspension properly loaded, how good a substitute is jacking the suspension up from underneath so it's in similar compression?
Just as good Rob. You then start at a neutral, unloaded position. Ideally you would Jack both sides so that the anti Roll bar has no effect too.

Thanks. Had never though about doing both sides together!
