I need to replace or fix a control arm. The bolt parallel to the floor is loose, it's not tightening or lossenin enought to pull out
It's just free in there. Need help To me it seems like there's a nut holding the bolt from behind, but the problem is I can't see or reach back there. Is there some trick or something I'm missing? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

You could try your luck with an impact gun. You can put on and take off endlink nuts with them (which "require" a hex key to keep the stud from spinning).
