X5girl is on a distinguished road
The track control arm IS NOT the thrust arm. The track control arm points outwards from the chassis to the wheel, the thrust arm point forwards around 45 Deg and is also incorrectly called the brake reaction arm or tension strut.
TCA inner bolt should be 87Nm
Thrust arm bolt should be 143Nm.
An alignment will not be required unless previously, an alignment has been done to compensate for the worn bushings.
