Hi guys , need your wisdom) my Lowe control arm bolt is half way out and nut and this fancy washer is missing. Bold stock and not moving in any direction. I believe this is the part where CA attached to the frame or its most likely subframe. I attached pictures. I was trying to jack it to take bolt out with no success. Do I have to release the torsion bar? Is there any procedure that align these holes and take bolt in or out? Plan is ( if treads are still there then find the nut and put everything back together. And what about washer or whatever it is missing?? What to do about that? Just put regular washer and search for used one ? To attach pictures of the driver side with misaligned holes and bolt halfway outb. And another picture is the right side for reference on the washer or whatever it is called. Thanks god I was removing radiator to replace the wire harness on crank sensor and discovered it . Thank everyone in advance. Max
