in the rear:

- skip #41
- back to the guide
- in #46, tighten the top bolt, not the hat bolts (just like the front)
So should I be loosening all four struts BEFORE lifting the car up? Because, from my understanding, lifting the car will slowly take the pressure off the springs. Excuse me if the answer to the question is the obvious one. I want to make 100% sure I'm doing it right.
