Default I was also told that when lowering the subframe on the passenger side, that I have to remove

a stretch bolt and that I should replace it when I do. Anybody know what part this is, I called the stealership, and he wasn't positive about what it was, but that was partly due to my sh*tty explanation. Any advice, or part number.
Thanks

Go to the dealer, and point out the part which you're referring to.

Unfortunately I don't know what it looks like, or what bolt that it is.

Default Then my advice to you is to is to do more homework before you take your car apart.

You should be able to at least point to the bolt you'll be removing, before you start the job.
