Thanks in advance

I just used a 1/2 drive rachet and tighned as much as I could with one arm.

Not like mating two macined parts together, just a bolt an nut with a bushing in between.

[Use the old control arm a towel, socket and (cowhide) sledge when re-seating the bushings. works better that trying to teater them in a vice.]

Use Locktite on the bolts.
