Question is do I need to worry about anything moving?
Should the car be jacked up from the frame or axle to take the weight off or is it ok resting on the wheels? The axle is still attached to the spring.
Thanks Joe

Once the perch bolt is removed from the hole, the tension of the spring still mounted will cause the wishbone's perch hole to become misaligned with the axle's hole. This MAY be difficult to re-align when the time comes to go back together. I believe I would have the axle/wishbone/spring assembly out from under the car to replace that perch bolt. Good luck!
