SPC A Arm install -G35x- First Attempt
The Arm went in fine
but the bolt that fastened the A Arm to the knuckle ran out of thread. the bushing didnt seem to provide any sort of resistance to the fastener. as a result - the fastener just spun and compressed the bushing untill it ran out of thread.
EDIT: I'm Stupid - need to follow directions more often!!
had to reuse the cone on the stock bushing...forgot to do that!






as you see, the fastener is torqued down all the way (to the end of the threads) but i can easily compress the bushing with my two fingers

i just used the open end of a 7/8" combo wrench and pryed that sucker off... didnt feel too nice when it hit me right in the chest, but it got the damn thing off!
