Oh why does the Lower control arm do this?
I'm installing some coilovers on my 135i and this happened when I went to bolt the LCA back. I can't figure out how to line the bolt back up with the bushing. Excuse me if this is an easy fix.
Best, Flynn

Something like, https://www.amazon.com/Steel-Heel-Al.../dp/B0787DJ7P6
Use the punch end to push through and hold until you can push the bolt from the other side. And actually jacking up the wheel should also pull the LCA out and help with lining the holes up. |

The easiest way would be to have someone pull the knuckle out so it will align with the holes.

I thread it as far as I can, then pull on the rotor face until it pops through. Just takes patience. Can also turn the eccentric bolt through the toe.
