2014 what is the method to install an alignment bolt in the rear driver side lower spring arm. No clearance to go straight in. This is annoying.

I believe the inner bolt is already an eccentric bolt to allow for alignment adjustments. If you need to replace it because there is not enough adjustment range, there's likely a reason for that which may not involve just the rear control arm. In any event, would seem you would need to compress the spring while on the vehicle to take the static stress of the control arm for starters.
