UCA/LCA - Torque under Load

[claustralia]

Hi all,

Quick question I can't seem to find an answer too. When new control arms are installed, I know they need to be torqued down with the suspension loaded at ride height. With that being said, should the shock/strut assembly and sway link be installed/loose and also torqued under load or installed after the control arms are torqued while loaded? I'm just curious what the correct order of operations is to have all the bushings avoid premature wear.

swaybar endlinks and struts shouldn't matter
swaybar rubber bushings, I would tighten with vehicle at rest.
