Lower Control Arm Bolt Size and Torque

Discoe_Raptor · Apr 5, 2017

I need to remove the nut on the lower control arm to install a bolt on bumper/skid plate. Does anyone know the size of the bolt and nut along with the appropriate torque?

Will removing this nut affect my alignment or anything else I should be aware of?

It's 24 or 27mm. Can't remember for sure. If its the only bolt you loosen on the lca it shouldn't move but I would mark it's position and have the truck on jackstands.

When you says its either 24mm or 27mm, are you referring to the nut? Or bolt? Both are different sizes. I'm assuming I'll need to hold the bolt in place while I torque the nut.

Bolt head is 21. Nut is 24 or 27.

There are several threads with torque specs but the sticky is in the Maintenance section.

And print this out, keep a copy in your garage and one in your truck.
