I don't think that is it the control arm is on the right of the bolt it doesn't block it there is this pipe pictured here that is blocking it do i have to remove this it has some weird bolts with pins over the bolts. This is starting to drive me crazy how could this one simple bolt cause so much trouble why would they have designed it like this.

Erik is correct, the 17mm that connects vertically from under the LCA to bottom of strut housing. I believe youre over analyzing it Cody. Its very simple and not difficult/complicated lol
