Default Track control arms - 2wd sapphire

Preparing my motor for test, and will probably put new TCA's on . Can you reuse the existing inner bolts already on car, or do you have to use new bolts. Was looking at Matt Lewis website and see them described as pinch bolts. Does this mean they 'deform' when tightened, and therefore are one time use only?? Thanks.

It's more to do with the design, as the bolt pinches two flanges together, you don't have to renew it, opposed to the 3DR's "Castle nut" design.

You will also need a "ball joint splitter" to remove the TCA from the hub!

Don't forget your poly bushes while your at it!
