Spohn Control Arm Help
I have a set of rod ended control arms on the rear of my car. Theres rod ends on both ends. Im having a problem with play in the bolts. The rod end seems to have a wider hole than the bolt which goes thru it. I can move the rear front to back. Do I need new bolts to go with these arms? I didnt get any when I bought them. What do you guys think could be up.

Re: Spohn Control Arm Help
the issue is probably that, while the stock bolts on the car are 12mm, the bolt holes in the arms are probably 1/2" if this is the case, and you want to continue with them, you can drill out the mounting holes to 1/2". or see if you can get the right size spacers

Drilling out the holes is what I was thinking. Im just wondering if anyone else here has had the same problem.
