For those unfamiliar with the set up in question, her's a pic of the lower control arm. As far as the problem, the bolts could have loosened up at different times, but the problem only became obvious after the second one fell out.



Thanks for the picure! Yes this is exactly what I am talking about. I find it hard to believe these loosened up on their own....I torqued all these down years ago myself.

I had the car in a few months ago for an alignment and to set camber, caster, etc. Would these have been loosened up to do those adjustments?

I just hate to fix this and have it happen again. Maybe I am just worrying too much about this.

Second question now:

How to get the strut rod back where I can align the holes to push the bolts through? I am guessing I will have to take the sway bar off its mounts on that side to give the strut rod more wiggle room so I can pry it back into place.
