Very good that you asked because this is one of the most important step when you later reassemble the suspension. This bolt must be torqued in one of the last step with the wheels on the ground. You want this “rubber torsion bar” to be torqued in the ride height. It is also important when you lower the car to have this torqued at the new height. Note that this is only necessary for non M cars. M2-M4 have a uniball in that position. For M-cars you don’t need to loosen the bolt. And if you do you can torque it with the car raised. |

Samuel, how do you torque the control arm bolt with the car on the ground? The wheel would be in the way and there is no space to crawl under the car if it's on the ground.

To make this at home you can jack up the hub without wheels to an estimated position and torque the nut. Since you probably do it on one side at a time the swaybar link needs to be unconnected. This way is equally good. My point is that we need to “reset” the torsion in the bushings. This also applies to the rear axle points with rubber bushings. |

Do I need to remove the belly pan to get access to the control arm bolt? Or can I loosen the screws of the belly pan closest the control arm?

Uninstalled mine to sell the car and the helicoil type thread adapter pulled out. Not sure how to fix this, no way is that coil going back in. might have some expensive paperweights now.

I shot out a message to Samuel after I placed my order asking about expected lead time and he said he hopes to have an estimate by this weekend. If that lead time is super long I will shoot you a PM and we can go from there. In any event, thank you. I am stuck running these ones on July 3rd at Lime Rock either way so hopefully I won't have any issues.
