tension rod

Post by landslideATX »

as most of you know i recently ran my car into a curb. messing up the lower control arm and the tie rod. got that fixed. now i have a problem with the tension rod. the two bolts that go up into the lower control arm, one of them is in but the one closest to the front is off by like a quarter of an inch. will this effect the car much? and how long will the car last on just one of the bolts? thanks.
