lads just fitted new anti roll bar bushes and new drop links on rear

a bit confused about this preload thing does the wheels have to be put on ground on preload suspension before you tighten bolts on droplinks or can you tighten droplink nuts when car is in the air on axel stands

AFAIK neither the arb bushes or the drop-links are subject to loading in any position. The bushes allow the arb to rotate/flex dependent on the road conditions. The drop-links are greased ball and socket assemblies which allow limited articulation of the arb ends. It's the metalastic bushes within the hub or trailing arms etc are subject to loading and are usually tightened when the car is in a neutral position - wheels on the ground.
