If its the same set up at my 95 4x4 then you should not have to,
the two bolts on top at the arm, next to the joints are what you
need to get loose to adjust it out, i think.

Thanks Chris , let me better explain . there is no way to get a wrench , socket or anything on this . I`m baffled how it was origially done . Behind one of the adjusting nuts , there is a bolt . The head of the bolt is so tight against the nut I have no way to loosen anything . I can`t see anything this bolt could be attached to as it goes into the chassis . I`ve had over 30 vehicles and do ALL my own work , this isn`t the first time I`ve done a control arm adjustment or replace the bushings . I can say I haven`t come across this before . In GM mid 90`s trucks , there is a pin that had to be removed and I was thinking this is the same . What is this bolt????
