Drilling out upper control arm bolt

[defenderu]

Right, but I swear mine has access holes through the frame. What year is your Jeep?
Obviously you're starring at yours and know you don't have the access holes, but now I'm dying to know if I'm misremembering or not.

mine is an 03 rubi. I have a hole but it doesnt seem to line up right.

curiosity is killing me...can it be drilled from the other side?

Without having read all the way to the end, yes, the rear upper and front upper control arm mount bolt holes in the frame can be drilled from outside the frame with an 8" long x 7/16" drill bit in a typical drill motor.

Thanks Mr. Blaine. I am an idiot and am now realizing this. It didnt appear they would line up the hole right but it does. Time to go get a long drill bit.

p.s. Looking forward to my Savvy stuff coming.
