I’m going to tackle replacing both control arms soon and wondering if there’s any official way of tightening it back up?
I’ve seen plenty of videos where people replace the arms then tighten it up and job done, but doesn’t sound right to me
I would have thought I’d need to measure where the car sits from the center of the hub to the top of the wheel arch, change arms then jack up the suspension arm until the distance is as before then tighten everything up.
I suppose doing the above might not be brilliant because if current control arms have sagged it still won’t be correct distance
thanks
