I do hope those bolts are not tightened in the picture. If they are, please get some longer bolts that engage the full nut including the lock area. This setup is not the strongest with good bolts. One big pothole and the upward movement of the control arm will stress the bolt and thin metal of the factory arm. Aftermarket arms usually have a good 1/4 inch plate on the bottom so at least the arm will survive. Can you get the shocks on the top of the arm?
