I just finished replacing the upper a arm bushings, lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints and strut rod bushings. After having an alignment done, there is some popping in the suspension at times. I think it is coming from the strut rods. When I reassembled I tightened the lower control arm and strut rod just enough to hold them in place before I loaded the torsion bars, then lowered the car to the ground and torqued them down. I think I may have got them too tight initially and put them in a bind creating the noise. Question, can I loosen the lower control arm and strut rod while the car is on the ground, then torque them back down to see if this corrects the problem. Would it effect the alignment I had done? Thanks
