Hey guys. I need a little help. I just bought a used pair of control arms off this guy but they didn't come with instructions. I was just looking in the box and there are 2 sets of bolts that came with it. One of the bolts have threads all the way to the top of the head of the bolt and the other has threads almost to the top. Which ones go there? Are they hard to install in my driveway?? BTW the are hotskics if that matters.

YIKESS - I went to the BMR site where they have install instructions, they say to use the bolts that came off the originals, and they point to install university where they say to be sure the short bolt goes in the front of the control arm and the long bolt in the rear. Are the bolts that came with it the same length?

can be done in the driveway with a jack and some stands.

just be sure to pre-load the suspension before tightening down completely.

Hey, let us know how it goes, I'm thinking of these for my next mods since I am giving up on power mods for now...too much confusion over what helps and what actually makes it worse!!
