Well, you still do- but anytime your working on a piece of suspension with a bushing that will be under load, you MUST not fully tighten & torque the bolts until the car is sitting on it's own weight.

If your bolting the top of a shock, that's no problem. But if you're bolting up a control and you do it while it's up in the air on jack stands and the wheel is hanging, and then sit it back on the ground, the bushings will essentially be 'wound up'. Know what I mean?

What you do is mount everthing and just snug the bolts- lower the car, THEN actually torque the bolts. That way when you sit the car on it's own weight the bushing was able to rotate in it's mount freely, and now is ready to be torqued.
