Buy a pot of copper grease and brush some on all the bolts, if you have to take it apart again you will be thankful you did.

If I recall, most of my bolts for suspension had a loctite type material.on them. Do not use grease on these. Or rather be careful where you do. I put a little onto the flanged heads and on any shanks to reduce the risk of corrosion but not on the threads.

Putting it back is supposed to be the easiest part!

Paint everything, then paint it again. Once fitted, spray on underseal and injection was for protection.

A good torque wrench, most main suspension bolts are 100/120 nm
