I got the shits when that bolt got in the way of removing the old control arm from it’s hole. Got the grinder out and cut the excess threads off and was able to pull it out no problem. Still had an inch of thread past the nut remaining. Doesn’t seem to have caused any issue and no intention of ever removing that bolt. It will go to the wreckers before that ever happens.
Way cheaper buying the lower control arms for around $250 the pair. Quoted $300 to replace one ball joint. Ball Joint shot on right front on the BF so no doubt other side was due not to mention fresh bushes all round. Couple hours to replace both sides saves a stack
Quick tip turn the steering wheel to access the inside bolt and a solid length of pipe to fit over your strongest wrench for leverage on the stubbornest bolts...crc
Hey Buddy, how are these control arms holding ?. I am asking as I want to replace the same on my BF using the eBay ones like yours. However I am a bit concern as the price is cheaper on eBay as compared to ones available at SCA. So just want to make sure that these control arms are worth it. Thanks in advance.
