LCA bolts

Reassembling front suspension......been along time coming.....is there a trick for tightening?  The entire rod just spins in the bushing when it gets so tight?

Poly bushings huh? I had to hold it with a vice grip on the backside and tighten the nut.

Yep poly

When I bought my polygraphite bushings years ago, they said to reuse the old bushing sleeves.  I never installed them.  Sounds like they shouldn't be that loose?

Been there done that get rid off the polly and put in the original rubber bushes. With the original rubber bushes don't tighten them up fully with the car in the air or you will tear the bushes when you drop it down.

The car has to be on the ground with weight on the front end to do the final tightening on the LCA pivot nuts.

What I'm getting out of this is he's talking about the strut rod nuts...

Hmmm... that's not what the title of the thread is, though.
Put a socket/wrench on the other end of the strut rod while tightening and it won't spin.

Strange that you OZ guys call them "bushes". I like bush but never thought to use pubes in my front suspension.

Ignore Horn dog. He likes to glom onto other peoples topics just to post useless opinion.
