Default Rear drop link fitting advice

Hi

Just about to fit new rear drop links and have 1 simple question.

should this be done with the car sitting on the ground or with the rear wheels lifted off the ground.

Basically are they under any load.

Cheers

CJS

Backed mine up onto a couple of bricks, gave me enough room and kept the weight on the wheels. Mine is lowered on prodrive springs too.

Doesnt matter.. As long as right/left are the same height it'll work.

(so do not jack up 1 side and than loosen it.. wont work.
