DIY - Suspension Removal and Install Redux - Tips, Tricks and a Gripload of Pics

Sorry to bring back on old thread...does anyone know if you can simply tighten all the bolts with the wheels on and the car on jackstands? Seems like the easiest way to load the bushings, but not sure if I can reach those UCA bolts.

I am in the process of doing this now, for the upper UCA bolts, follow the bentley guide that was noted earlier in the thread. If you do it at the 81mm and 70mm you wont have to load the suspension and then try to get those bolts. I verified this with an Audi tech today. As a side note, i am doing Eibach and Koni yellows, I did get the sport bumpstops, but didnt put the dust cover back on because i couldnt get it off the OEM bumpstop.
