We'll i went to install my control arms at work since we were dead. Come to find out the stock bolts won't fit through the new arms. They are the Granatelli adjustable lower control arms. I dind't see anything about a bolt kit when i purchased them ,and said there a direct bolt in. Just curious if anyone else has ran into this problem. I'm gonna give them a call tommorow.

yes and that's why I say over and over to stay away from GMS, I may have even told you. I had the same issue, they told me to put a smaller diameter bolt in which in turn caused the control arm to move in the housing. This resulted in bushing failure that nearly cost me my life and destroyed my torque boxes. GMS would not stand behind their POS control arms nor would Muscle Motors that sold them to me!

I didn't see your post about them. I'm just mad for the fact that they say direct bolt in and the stock bolts won't work. I just hate buying parts anymore there always seem to be some hidden crap that i find out when i go to install parts on my car anymore.

You got the control arms for 96-98 mustang gt. They have a smaller bolt then the 99-04.

yea i was searching around and came across those bolt differences like you said. And the box was marked 79-04. Looks like Granatelli neads to do there homework!!! I wonder if they could send the correct sized bushings but i would still need to drill out the other end where it is solid.

yep, that's what I found out later but when I bought them it said 96-04. That's why I was saying he could sell them.

we'll i called them today and they are sending me out the different bushing to fit 99-04.

tell them to send you new control arms or fvck off. Why should you have to deal with putting the bushings in because they messed up?
