Replacing LC arms and tension struts: Easier on or off the car?

[Bmachine]

I was about to drop the front subframe with engine and suspension to freshen all that up. But after looking at it for a while I started to think that it might be easier to replace the LC arm and the tension strut while the subframe is still on the car. The reason being that this way they are in a "suspended state" and they are not going to move around so it might be easier to applying force if necessary.

Is that correct or would it be easier to do once the whole assembly is out?

Thank you.

If you have an air gun you can do it either way, if not do it on the car.

Totally, On the car is much easier, it's nice if you can get the car up in the air too
