    Might be a stupid question but I'm installing my total chaos upper control arms and wondering if when the uca moves up and down is the through bolt suppose to move with it or just the bushings?

    The bolt does not move once torqued.

    Hmmm.. When I have it tightened and even when I loosen it a little the whole bolt is moving with the arms. Not sure what to do.

    I've only ever worked with rubber arm bushings and with those, the bolt does not move when the suspension travels.

    So I'm advising you based on a theoretical situation in my head, lol.

    Bolt, once torqued, applies tension to the bushing sleeves and the frame. If torqued right, it should not move in my opinion.
