71Technotoy rear lower control arms question

[timsz]

I have the TTT control arms and Arizona Z mustache bar. My bushings have fallen off a couple of times. I found one on the road, luckily. I put a thin piece of rubber around the bushings to help hold them on. In the pic, there are threads inside the control arms. What are they for ?  Thank you.

Yikes! Where’s your end bolts???

[wheee!]

You reuse your old end bolts with the TTT LCA’s

4 required. They are unique and I am not sure you can source a proper replacement new if you tossed them...

I snagged a set of those bolts from a wreck the other day if you can't find yours. They are M22x1.5 and NOT easy to find as a generic bolt. There is a biga$$ flat washer and star lock washer that goes with as well.

Haha! In case you haven't already figured it out from the previous posts... Those threads inside the control arms are what accepts the bolts that hold the control arm bushings in.

Without those bolts, the bushings will fall out as you drive. Repeatedly.

If you are not already familiar with the "Emporium of Parts"  stashed away in the frozen north, then @zKars is an extremely handy person to know....

$300 bucks for a set! Holy cow that's crazy. I can sandblast mine and have them yellow zinc plated for $20!  Wait, $1200/4, I get it..... Never mind.....

I'm heading back to the junkyard to get more of these....

They have M22 x 1.5 capscrews at Fastenal in various lengths. @zKars do happen to know the correct length required.

They are 30mm long. The heads are kinda unique, 24mm socket.

That's some fine looking Canadian patina you have there!
