The inner steel bush is clamped by the bolt in a stationary position.  The
outer steel case is held motionless by friction.  You must tighten the bolts
with the suspension compressed because the rubber between the two steel parts
forms part of the suspension. In short, the two steel parts can move a little
vis a vis each other with the rubber giving resistance.  If the bolts are
tightened without the weight of the car on the suspension the rubber will
begin to fail VERY rapidly.
