Seen a Lotus lately? In the Europa there is a bolt in the upper front
suspension which goes through:
trailing upper control arm
frame
top end of shock/spring unit
frame
leading upper control arm
sway-bar mounting strut
It is ten inches long and must be drawn into the passenger
compartment to be removed.
