The Haynes manual says "Front lower control arm pivot bolts/nuts: 141-191 ft/lbs." It doesn't mention anything about tightening them under load.

5. With a suitable jack, raise the front suspension lower arm to a normal attitude position. Remove the compressor tool. On vehicle with 4.6L engine, use care when removing upper plate to avoid nicking the spring coils.

6. With the jack still in place, tighten the front suspension lower arm-to-crossmember retaining nuts to 191-259 Nm (141-191 lb-ft).
