Would you agree that bushing pre-load will achieve a spring pre-load as well?
This seems to be a good illustration of spring preload: http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/58103-...tml#post513617

Kinda sorta, Not fully. Because the bushings themselves aren't strong enough to peform a "spring action" IMO.

If the lower control arm is being jacked up enough to lift the car off the jackstand w/ the coilover in place, I'd say there's some spring action there. I'd say what...about 600 lbs or so?

I wouldn't think near that much. But I could be wrong. Maybe someone else has some insight? lol

In the air...ergo, no pressure/flex from the other side...in this scenario the car's wheels are all off and all 4 corners are on stands.

sway's intact and connected, I've never disconnected it. 20 lb/in sounds a little low to me.

Hey mac, would you run through the process for us? I'd like to hear your procedure on this as well.

I've started a post but didn't get too far but I'll continue with it.
Here's the link although it won't work just yet.
