RE: Control Arm Problem



I think I know what the problem is. grease it. next aim it correctly and
jiggle it around while jiggling the other part thingie (technical terms)
that holds the rotor and what not around too and applying force to the
bottom of the control arm. Sometimes I have had to place the control arm
under there, and the ball joint would not go into the socket for some odd
reason so what I would do (dont know if its wise, but hey it works) is take
that stupid cheap factory jack and kinda get it underneath the car, wedge it
underneath the break splash guard under the bottom of the ball joint (it can
be done *TRUST ME* :) and start cranking that little thing up. After a bit
it should just pop in. Now the fun part is lining up the groove on the top
of the ball joint head. I usually peek through and make sure that its
perfect, otherwise you will *NOT* get that damn bolt through. After the
first time of doing them (especially if the car has never had them before!)
its relativly painless. Drop me a line if you need anything else. Thanks,
