Where the control arms removed for any reason?? Did they put them back one
with the pivot arm upside down?? Should be ridges on one side of it that
should go up against the frame to help hold it in place.

Hey, DML...
I know...I'm officially a 'lurker' again...but...
The DAKSY had the wheels aligned & now has a severe "CLUNK" when turning the
wheel to full crank.
The bolts holding the pivot arm to the upper "A" are jumping in their
respective slots on the driver's side.
Checked the Bible & the torque spec is 95 lbs/ft. They're ALL of that &
maybe more.
Right side is secure.
What am I looking at (*hint*...*Bernd*...help!) here?
I'm thinkin that just replacing the bolts ain't gonna do squat.
The upper "A" gotta be replaced, as well?
Should I do the "P" side while I'm at it?
Pisses me off that I'll hafta pay for another wheel alignment, but I'd
rather 'get er dun'=20
& not have a catastrophic failure at road speeds...
Thanx in advance...
