Help needed - used lower rear control arms

[FIFTY]

Does anyone have a pair of used rear control arms that they do not want?

I ask as my car is having the FD track rod ends removed and swapped back to stock but the adjuster bolt has stripped its thread while the other is seized solid

Happy to pay monies for either the entire control arm or more preferably just the adjuster bolt

Also open to any other suggestions to get around this problem (other than whole new control arms) - car is stuck on a lift at a specialist

I can supply you sockets no problem, I had a batch made earlier this year.

there is a member who makes some or all of that adjuster as a new replacement part I think? Newton, was it you?

Done via PM, have a pair prepped and awaiting postage details (don't know if you want one or two).

Thanks a lot Newton for your answer and all the informations you gave to me.
I have a question about Lower triangular bushing shim.
I took of the lower suspension triangle on my car because Lower Outer Rear Wishbone Stud was blocked.
All the bushing shim have fallen on the floor ! So I'm not able to know their place.

Does somebody know the "standard" quotation of bushing shims? (on each size of the inferior suspension triangle)

 

[2b1ask1]

I couldn’t tell you from any of mine, I don’t recall that I took any photos of them.

They vary from car to car because of the subframe location. There is no “standard” number of shims.

I believe the shim position on the rear wishbone to fork location doesn’t really matter they are non steering wheels ie the rears. as no caster angle to worry about.

i have 8 shims on the floor... (with different sizes i think). If it doesn't matter, why using 8 shims?
