x2. The thought crossed my mind for just a second, but I decided it is just to easy to get the right sized bolt instead.

 

Sometimes the 1/2 fits and sometimes it doesn't. It just depends on the tolerance of the original hole. It's no big deal to open it up a few thousandths; which is all you are doing.

 

Chuck's right, I probably could have gotten the bolt in if I "threaded i through the hole".
A couple of minutes with a small hand held circular file and it fit perfectly. Then hit the filed areas with the propane torch to heat it up, a little 1200 degree ceramic engine paint, and it's done..

 

Yeah 55 dollars is way to much for three bolts and nuts.

Im fabbing up my own rear bumper with tire carrier so I need a few more bolts and just ordered from bolt depot. It was alot cheaper than the dealer. And as Piginajeep said I am not going to alter the bolt or the bolt hole.

 

Sort of off the subject with regard to control arm bolts...

I am looking for torque spec for these when replacing the arms... I am guessing about 100lbs based on their tightness during removal, but I hate to guess...

New LCA's installed last night to fix DW... we shall see if it works.
