BMR Lower control arms

Fast05 · Feb 18, 2006

Hey guys,

I was in the middle of installing my new bmr lcas today and what i thought would be a relatively simple process i got hung up on something and wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem. The bold for the back end of the control arm does not fit through the control arm itself. The instructions say to use factory hardware, i shouldn't have to go buy new bolts ? This does not make sense, any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I also have the BMR LCA with poly bushings on my 05. The only issue I had was the sleeve wasn't cut correctly (just fixed that about 30 min ago). The stock bolts should work - you may have some edges left in the sleeve from when it was cut. If not, maybe the wrong sleeve was sent.

Hope this helps

E brake cable was actually pretty easy...just removed the little clip that holds it in place, and it comes right out...i have zip ties to hold them to the new control arms. Only difficulty was not knowing I needed to release the e brake in order to put everything back, but it only took about 5 minutes to figure that out. If they had sent me the correct ones the whole thing should have take no longer than about 30 - 45 minutes. Guess I'll call them up monday morning...
