So after many interruptions (mainly the Mrs wanting the hallway decorating) i've come to put it all back together.
Rear suspension is all on and dandy but now to the front. I've got the a arm on but cant tighten the rear bolt anymore and it's still moving around.
Has anyone else had bother with this?

Is the thread stripped?  Do you have the washers on it?

I may well have a bolt - if you remove and measure - I'll look in the stash.

It is the bolt - the last few threads are knackered - so much so you can't tell they are supposed to be there.
Nicked a bolt from the other car to measure. Anyway, both sides on now happily

That's a result.  Let me know if you need another.

Are you going to be using Prius arms to replace with?

Scion arms from the US.  Bought them a while back. I understand Auris arms are the same.

Are the Scion arms different to the standard ones?

Identical.
