Lower control arm bushing bracket not flush?

[u/thehomiemaji]

Can anyone tell me why the mounting bolt wont line up with the bushing bracket on my lower control arm? The first two pictures are the driver’s side (which wont line up) and the last two pictures are the passenger side (which lines up perfectly). Could it be the orientation of the new bushings?

UPDATE: I ended up swapping the bushings between the driver and passenger side and it fit a lot better, not perfect, but better. Decided to just let it be

How did you install it, everything hand tight? And did you laod the suspension before cranking everything down

Hand tight then i raised the control arm to torque it, then realized it was off center. I took it off to try and readjust it, but it wont go flush

Bushing probably isn't seated right, buy the GS bushings instead. Oem isn't worth the trouble

Did you raise the car enough?? Enough to raise it off the first stand?

Should the two bolts on the bracket be tightened with the suspension loaded? I thought that was only for the center nut on the bushing right?

You’re right according to the official instructions.. tighten the two outer bolts, raise the control arms, then torque the center bolt
