Default WTF!! Lower control arm hardware.

So after patiently waiting for my rear end to get back I get it hung under the car and begind to bolt the lowers in and the hardware I got from Team Z is a little thicker than stock and do not fit through the holes for the LCA on the rear axle, and the stock hardware fits but it seems to have a tiny bit of slop in the collar on the arms which I don't like consider the proper hardware sits snug. Anyone know whats going on here? I just wanna make sure there isn't somthing I don't know before I go drilling.

you need to drill out the holes to except the new larger bolts I would expect. That is not uncommon with suspension upgrades.

Corrected, holes needed to be drilled to 1/2inch was just thrown off gaurd because its advertised as true bolt in. I didn't drilling fell into that classification.
