    Hello TW,
    Decided to look under the truck and noticed this space between the bolt and lower control arm on drivers side (pic below). This space is NOT on the passenger LCA. What’s happening here?

    Thanks in advance!

    That is normal. The washer is compressing against the rubber portion of the bushing. It is odd the pass side does not have the same gap. Maybe different bushings were used. The alignment would be way off if there was play in that gap.
