LCA question and rear suspension

[tigerbalm]

Question 1

While removing my drivers side LCA 4-bolt style. The left 2 bolts were not able to be pulled out due to the trans was blocking me. I had to drop the subframe some to get them out. My question is, can I put the nut on the top and the bolt through the bottom or do i have to leave the bolt on top?

Question 2.

I am also installing a BAT kit, and before removing my back assembly I noticed that my tires seem to have rubbed some on the rear fender well splash guards. I have stock 16's 225/50/16 or 225/55/16 tires. Ive searched and cant find anyone else having this problem. With stock suspension there is only about an inch or inch and a half to the fender well. What do i do if it rubs?

thanks for the answer to question one. Now who wants 2

the stock suspension should not allow the tires to rub, i suspect your factory struts are worn and weak which is allowing the rear to sag enough that the tire is rubbing. I dont think you will have any problem with the BAT kit and tire rubbing.

sounds good. You aren't kidding about being worn out. I got the fronts apart from the springs today and i can push them in with my thumb, and they dont come all they way out without assistance. I'm also doing both front wheel bearings and both LCA's while i'm in there.
