Default almost crashed, need help fixing my problem

well, i got on the freeway, switch lanes, then hear a loud noise, then i start to fight with the wheel, so i pull over thinkin its a flat.

i noticed tho, that when i braked, it was really rough. checked the tire, it was fine, yet, wasnt able to drive, wheel wouldnt move.... so i got the car towed home.

i take off the wheel, heres what i see....
new AGXs and my new rotors..


look around, and find the problem, these 2 bolts were off



basically, my wheel was just spinning freely with no souce of control.

the problem, i bought the bolts to replace those that were missing, but im havin a really hard time gettin the holes to line up to fit the bolts. any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanx!

They are just bolts that go into the control arm from the trailing arm.. they can be a MAJOR PITA to get in sometimes.. Just do a lot of prying w/ prybars to get everything to move around and lined up..

doesnt that controll the caster? been a while since ive been into my suspension but it if its u can remove the other side... just remember how many shims u have on each side so u can get your caster correct again.. might wanna have it realigned too.. if the bolts came out it might have messed up the treads if it did i would get a helicoil kit..
