This is such a simple problem on the surface, but what am I actually supposed to do here? I could go on for a couple of paragraphs ranting about certain bolt placements and design choices, but to keep it straightforward, I'm trying to remove my front lower control arms, and there's one bolt that simply can't come out because it's hitting the frame. There's not enough clearance to remove it. What exactly do they expect me to do here? Photo attached below. Appreciate any help.
You have to remove the piece that it is hitting. It is bolted in place. Two on the end near the bolt and then two in the center of the car where it meets with the one from the other side. It will drop down and will be out of the way.
Figured that out for the driver side. The passenger side however has the lower bolt furthest towards the outside of the car getting blocked by another part. The spacing itself isn't even big enough for just the socket.
Does this sound familiar?
I did the passenger side first so that is what I described. But I dropped both sides and I don’t remember if something was different from side to side. It was awhile, so I don’t remember all the details.
LCA Bolt, how to remove?
