as most of you know i recently ran my car into a curb. messing up the lower control arm and the tie rod. got that fixed. now i have a problem with the tension rod. the two bolts that go up into the lower control arm, one of them is in but the one closest to the front is off by like a quarter of an inch. will this effect the car much? and how long will the car last on just one of the bolts? thanks.

just tweak it with a pry bar and it should work... i had to do it with my front end setup

month old thread but LAW just picked up a set off of ebay. helped him install them. they looked pretty comparable to my T3s but A LOT cheaper. he likes 'em.
