Front upper control arm axle bushing installation

[Jack1138]

I finally have both bushings installed. How do I get the control arm forks to line up with the bushing holes?

Ratchet straps or a lot of force... It's not fun, I'll tell you that much. That's why I always do control arms with the vehicle on the ground and the wheels on, one-at-a-time. It's much easier that way. I made the mistake of taking them all off at once... What a nightmare that was to get them all back on. It took two people and lots of monkeying around.

Thanks. I’ll give this a shot tomorrow.

You'll get it done. Enlist the help of your neighbor or your girlfriend / wife if need be! Everything is easier with two people.

I used a hoist and got it together. Thanks for the help.

@Jack1138 I know this is an old post, but did the ball joint press you had work out? that is the one I have available too.
