Lower Control Arm

joepizuro · Jan 13, 2013

Was changing my Control Arms yesterday because they were bent from a little accident and can't get the Camber bolt out of the LCA. I read that I have to use a sawzall to get it out but I was wondering if anyone knew which bolt it is to be ordered.

Tried finding them on LCA truck and Chrysler parts but not sure if its a 36mm or a 46mm.

Also going to need a new nut too.

Trucks a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD 5.9L

Edit: Broke the bolt. Definitely need a new one.

Time to get out the tape measure and get under the truck. I have my truck all tore apart so i can tell you what mine are when i go to the shop but we have different trucks so no guarantees it will work.

LMC truck lists them, #55-407, page 113.

I just ordered all new control arm hardware from spohn performance
I would think they have the 1500 can bolts too

Also try rock auto

They aren't cheap unfortunately

Since I didn't get the bolt out yet and I don't plan to until I get the new one. (Got a lot of work the next few days) Do these certain bolts come with the washer thing built onto one side?

I have the washer from the nut side. So ordering a new nut and bolt. Just wondering if I'll need a new washer for the bolt side also. Never worked with one of these types of bolts before.

They're actually pretty intricate for a bolt

I had to order a new bolt for my wife's Ram from the dealership. Came in the next day and it cost only $5.

Just replaced the lower control arms on my 06 and replaced all 4 bolts. I had to cut 2 of them off so I just replaced the set. I also replaced both lower strut mount bolts as well.

You are correct but I saw the picture in the thread of the eccentric bolts and they are extremely similar looking. Posted before I knew where I was. If it makes you guys feel better we share a similar problem though...

Well maybe hit up a pickandpull and grab the bolts from out of a truck like you instead of spending $$$ on new bolts
