The rubber parts bushing- the bolts should be tightened with the car settled- you don't want that stuff twisting around. Want zero twist in the bushing when it's driven straight.
I torque everything I can. I think all the suspension you can get to them quite easily. I may snug things down with an impact gun but then go back and finish the job by using a torque wrench. IT doesn't take much extra time. Most mechanics which don't use a torque wrench simply are lazy or don't realize how far off they can be from the fsm recommended torque.

Thanks for your reply.

What do you mean "press them in from one side" ?

Again, thank you!
