Replaced my control arms with meyle HD and didn't load them at the time because multiple people told me it made no difference. Well 2500 miles later I am st family house and have ramps. Should I to back and loosen the bolts and retighten while on rhino ramps?

The only problem I have been having is slight steering wheel viberation between 74-80.. Multiple alignments and balances have done nothing.

I would. Mine loosened in the front subframe because they weren't torqued under load.

I would to take the constant twisting stress off the bush, although it probably has nothing to do with your vibration.

It will make a huge difference in the life of the bushings, if you like to have your bushings stressed while your car is sitting parked then don't do it.

Note: find better people for advice.

I have researched this greatly.. There seems to be quite a few mechanics that don't load suspension for control arms. Even found an Indy bmw that do not load it. But while I'm here and can do it I suppose I will..

Back to the other problem... I still after months have no idea what is causing this very very slight vibration in the steering wheel. One of my wheels have road rash could that cause it?

Might have a slight bend.

Where would I go to get this checked. I am guessing if the bend is big enough they would have caught it during balance.

Hard to find.. I had then road force at Firestone. Firestone because they are the only people in town that have road force. And of course they could not find anything.
