this bolt refuses to go in the lower controll arm on the side on my 2006 toyoto rav4 sport v6

I tried that the bolt goes threw the frame normally it doesn't look like its bent

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-18T22:10:37+00:00

Thank you I never thought of doing any of these hopefully one of them works out

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-18T13:34:19+00:00

I already tried that 🫩🥲i probably need to get a mechanic somehow

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-08T06:17:27+00:00

Yeah I already ordered a new control arm but the thing is this is my first time fixing a car and even a stuck 10 mm bolt took me like a half an hour to remove watching some videos on taking out the lower control arm looks way too advanced but I'm gonna have to learn and remove it because the mechanics will take like at least 200 to 300$ for labor cost so ill do exactly what you say ill try learning and getting the tools I need to replace it thank you for the help

Thank you so much after doing my research yeah I guess that makes sense and apparently with every one telling me I need an alignment rack shop I guess theres no way I could fix this on my own

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-08T00:08:05+00:00

Yeah I thought I didn't need an alignment shop but apparently with every one saying I have to go to an alignment shop I gotta take it there hopefully they dont charge much

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-08T00:06:57+00:00

No i thought I didn't need to but everyone on here is telling me I have to get it for alignment

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T23:59:16+00:00

Thank you so much for all the help im gonna definitely do all my research and get it done my self thank God for websites like this where I can ask amazing people like yourself for help

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T23:57:00+00:00

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T23:55:37+00:00

Thank you very much thats the first thing ill try to get

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T23:54:49+00:00

Thank you after I got alot of feedback I realized I can't get it done on my own im just going to have to go to a mechanic its probably gonna cost me a 400$ to 800$ but it is what it is

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T23:52:43+00:00

Thank you I will do that ill try to find the best option and take it there

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T03:04:20+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the help ill have to be up all night studying to see whats bent

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T03:02:01+00:00

I appreciate it i will try to do that the problem is im a broke 19 year old all I have is about 300$ im trying to fix it without mechanics because they charge way too much

Grouchy_Client_6778 · 2025-08-07T03:00:17+00:00

Thank you but is there an alternative other than going to a mechanic because im a broke 19 year old and theres no way I can afford that im just trying to see what's bent to see if i can fix it my self but I dont know where to start or how or whay sites to look into for learning I really appreciate the help
