    Missing 1 Lower Control Arm Bolt

    The middle bracket bolts, that goes through the bushing, are missing. I ordered it from the dealership, waited two weeks, and got the wrong bolts. As it as, 3/4 bolts are in both control arms. Recommend a site or hardware store? NAPA didnt have anything.

    New Control Arm: Stiff/Stuck Ball Joints

    Moog RK620073 control arm w/bushings and ball joint. Out of the box, the ball joint does not move. Tapped it a few times with a hammer, and it did not budge. Is this normal for our car?

    I had an awesome head gasket experience. I'm using this site again to replace my hubs (pressed by shop), and apparently my control arm since the ball joint cover is torn. This reminds me to donate.

    used engine source

    Solved my p0300 and p072, was chasing a vacuum leak and worried by white odorless exhaust smoke. Dipstick looked fine but the oil cap actually had some milk shake. Had the head gasket fixed 20,000 miles ago. I like the car. I think it would be better to replace the engine vs another hopeful...
