It's where the forward most part of the lower control arm connects to the chassis with bolt.

Heres one.... I think it has a support put in it. It's a lower torque box.

The bolt you see is there is for the control arm.... the rear of the car is to the right of the picture.... He has Maximum Motorsport LCAs, as i can see the white sticker Hopefully that'll help?

The third bolt -- the lower one, is going through the front of the control arm. This is a picture taken from the outside of the car looking at the right side. The top bolts go up under the rear seat.

Hopefully this gives you a point of reference.

Hmmm...always wondered what to look for there.

Good tread!!

So I guess I should make sure they are not broken. I seem to hear this a concern for some?
