Full Version: Loose Rear Control Arm

I just noticed while I was changing tires that my drivers side rear inner swing arm has about 1/4 inch play where the 3 17MM bolts are. The bolts don't seem to tighten either.

What's the cause / problem? Fix?

THANKS

Are they stripped?
EdwardBlume
I didn't pull the bolts but they seem to be on very tight. This is where the "shim" is for the camber adjustment.

Is it common for these bolts to strip???
ChrisReale
Are they torqued to 50 lbs? Each? Other than that, I have no idea. Do not over tighten them, I can only guess how fun it would be getting those bolts out after they break headbang.gif

Maybe the plate circled below is F'ed up (bent, missing, etc.)

Just an idear...

THANKS

The plate is there, it just shifts. I think its off because of the camber angle. Time for new bolts? Thanks for the torque setting, I'll give it a go.

THANKS AGAIN
