Default Lower control arm - Front...reinstall issues.

So, all the nuts came off fine and no issues. Now, I am trying to put them back in but when I try to tighten them, the whole bolt moves with the nut. As if there was somethign loose up in the bushing area.

I think its supposed to be like this since they are used to steer.

Any special technique, tools or direction..?

HELP>>.

******* Honda eh

use an impact to tighten it, you have to find some way to put pressure on it wile you tighten it.

if you dont have a impact.. most people don't, I'm just blessed lol...... Use a C-clamp to put pressure on the bottom of the ball joint and tie rod. Some spin some dont.

Search this topic but with using a C-clamp, And I don't mean just searching honda tec, Google is your friend
