Something else i realized, when installing new control arms the mounting bolts that go through the pivot bushings must be torqued while the full weight of the vehicle is on the wheels/arms. Bushing of that kind are generally designed to flex only a certain amount, if they are tightened while front end is off the ground they will already be at their max flex when the vehicle is put on the ground, not only will they wear out prematurely but can hold the vehicle up just an extra hair. It happened to my friend on his Acura EL
