    Ok! I lowered the front of my car, No problem, went smoothly,
    Went to the back, Bolt/Bushing was screwed, had to weld them out (if this was stupid dont blame it on me)
    Anyways, so now i got the Arm, and the Spring and Shock, I then called my local parts Dealer, Oh you need the bolt and bushing no problem, But now i said i need a nut to, this is where problems start, the nut i had, had to be removed due to it being stripped, SO! one person says, oh its ok, just get a nut to fit it, other says, Oh you need a whole new control arm! AHHHHHHHHHH, 110 bucks a pop! sweet eh!?
    So yeah, btw, its a 88 Civic DX HB, ANYONE!? ill be reading this all night, so if i left something out, ask questions, ill asnwer fast , Thx guys!
    (and gals)

    I think the nut was welded to the control arm, right? I would just get a nut that will fit the new bolt and put some Loctite on the threads to keep it from coming loose.

    Its not an on ramp, its a test track
