Oh I missed the point being the bolt head or nut would be the correct size sorry.
To be clear there should be 2 spacers. One on each side of the spherical rod end on your track bar. Guessing they have the same spacers on the other end also.
Yep fortunately there is a spacer on one side. So I just need to solve for the other side.
As Brian B said earlier stacked flat washers will do the same thing as a thick spacer.
Certainly noted. It’ll always make me a bit anxious, though.
Off roading is a series of upgrading something. Breaking something else. Fixing that. Rinse and repeat
In the end I believe it was the shop not providing me with the extra parts (spacers). It was one of many small issues I had with them. It's just tough when you don't have the right tools.
Gootcha. Ugh....Nothing worse than a bad shop. But in fairness - a master mechanic once told me that "regardless of what shop you go to, none of them will be perfect." I try to keep an open mind with stuff like this....#try. Hahaha!!!
Next time use the money you would have paid the shop for your own tools. It will be much cheaper in the long run to do it yourself and you'll know it was done right!
That's where I disagree. Quite often I think I know how to do something, then watch a 5th tutorial and realize I missed a step that is so well-known to mechanics that it's not even outlined on "how-to" videos. "Don't know what you don't know" can be very costly working on these expensive cars. I didn't mind as much on my old F150.
Undoubtedly true advice. Without it I wouldn't have gotten through this minor debacle.Find knowledgeable friends (like here on 6g), we'll always point out your mistakes.
