dumb control arm, or just me...

[vladimir240]

hey guys, so here it goes. i was putting the super cool battleversion package on my ride, when i overtightend and broke the inner rear upper control arm bolt. any ideas where i can get another one of those?? the bolt itself has a rather big counter weight welded on to it. i guess i could go to home depo and cut/gring/weld :dead: the counter weight to a totally new bolt... i dunno. so any input here would be greatly appriciated.

That weight is there to adjust the camber easily. Go to nissan and order another.

If you need suspension bolts I have a shit ton of them for s-13's. None of mine have weights on them though, I think those are only on hicas cars. PM me with a description of the bolt (cam bolt or regular bolt) and we can work out a shipped price. I can ship it on monday and since you are in oxnard you will have it tuesday. I don't think I will be available for pick-up tomorrow, but if you desperately need it maybe we can work it out.

non hicas w/ that big thing on it
just pay shipping if needs be

You don't need the counter weight. Just go to a hardware store and buy a pair of heat-treated bolts.

[vladimir240]

that actually makes sense matej. any idea on the size?

[vladimir240]

and just for future refference, wat is hicas??

[vladimir240]

thanks guys, on my way to the parts store. might be hitting up some of you guys later for the exact bolt. later.

rear wheel steering. rear wheels automatically steer upto 1* or something to pretty much counter-act oversteer. I heard it makes changing lanes fun, never driven a hicas car myself...

Just take the stock bolt with you and get the width and similar length.
You don't need camber bolts anyway since you have adjustable control arms now.
Also, I'd recommend using fender washers if you get regular bolts, they fit perfect into the recessed area.

Go to ace hardware, get some 10.5 grade bolts....bring the old bolt with and find a nut that fits, then get the according bolt. And yes get fender washers, maybe even some lock washers.

[vladimir240]

thanks guys, totally went to home depo and got a crap ton of washers, couple spacers, lucking washer, and a nut for a temp fix. still wanna go with the bolt that came in the car, just for a peace of mind. Dousan_PG (http://zilvia.net/f/members/dousan_pg.html), go a pm.
