I Need Help Asap!!!!!!!

[1PhatCX]

I need to know what size the bolt is for the control arm on the front of the car, if ur looking at the arm its the farthest bolt from the rotor.

please help as i snapped the one in there!!

[1PhatCX]

i wanna try to keep this thread floating around the top cuz i need to know asap! as in before tommorow afternoon if possible!

my dad was gonna put it all back together and make me drive around with that bolt snapped and i told him hell no, he told me 4 out of the 5 bolts are connected so it wont go anywhere if that one snapped off but i'm not fuckin risking it, i just think he doesnt wanna help with any of the damn work, i told him if it snapped when i was driving i'm gonna blame him, but who knows what speed i'll be doing when it goes, could be doing 10, could be doing 100, it might make me lose control and lose my life, not gonna take that risk

hey i got a helms manual in front of me, tell me which bolt you are talking about, i cant tell what bolt is the "farthest from rotor"

[1PhatCX]

on the lower control arm on the driver side front, its the farthest bolt, it connects to the steering rack i believe, or around there anyways

dont even try moving the car. suspension isnt something to neglect. a snapped bolt is probably the most dangerous thing you could drive around with on the suspension.

as far as what size it is, i suggest going to a junkyard and getting one there, or taking the one from the opposite side, and going to a honda dealership to match it up. that bolt is the same size on just about every generation civic and integra. you can also get the ones from the back control arms, they are the same size. its a 10mm shaft size, and its 80mm long. its a 14mm head i believe. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...RONT+LOWER+ARM

look there, its item 016.

the head on the bolt was 17 mm

i think were just gonna buy a bunch of bolts and see what one works

ok, got the new control arm in and bolted up and everythings good.... kinda... the only problem is it didnt fix a damn thing!!!!
now, i know theres a threaded rod kinda thing that connects to the control arm, (number 005 on http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com...FRONT+LOWER+ARM )

the radius rod, now, if i tighten the nut on that at the front, will that bring my wheel back towards the front like it should be?????
please lemme know asap cuz i'm getting my tires balanced today hopefully and i'm gonna see if they can tighten that while i'm there,

also, do u think i will have any problems with it? like snaping the radius rod? or snapping the nut or anything like that??

nice dad you got.
do you have a insurance policy.

[1PhatCX]

i dunno if i have an insurance policy on myself, the car, yes

i told him straight up tho that i'm not fuckin driving the car like that, so he left it on the jack for the night untill the morning when he fixed it
