2g Upper Control arm - April 19, 2015 06:03 pm UTC
I was swapping the driver side upper control arm and through an exchange of texts with Jeremy i'd like to get to the bottom of this question
The upper control arm has 2 vertical fasteners that are bolted up from the top of the towers in the engine bay and those vertical fasteners are attached to the control arm as well
My question arises at that fastening point
When i swapped the balljoint on my passenger side i had noticed the only pivot those vertical fasteners has was the flex from the bushing in there and even getting 2-3cm movement needed a good amount of strength
Now i ask is that the correct point to tighten the vertical fasteners to the control arm or should they be able to pivot along the fasteners somewhat freely
