Me? I put all four wheels on ramps (After the R/R procedure) and "Bounce"
the Chassis Up and Down by hand 2-3 times at each corner to make up for
any Mis-Alignment when I raised the Chassis onto the Ramps.Then Torque.

...
Another way is to roll the car or set the car down onto a set of slip plates (lino / steel / something thin but smooth with grease in between). You only need to do this on one wheel.

And if we're talking 1985 W123 300D don't forget the adjustment of the gearbox mount as well...
