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

Replacing the subframe is maybe the easiest way but also very timeconsuming. Just cut a hole in the old frame and weld the nut. Close the hole and you'll be fine. If you got the tools, it shouldnt take more then an hour (or 2). Replacing the frame could easily take all day.
