Front control arms replacement

[hiwasss]

turn the knuckle so that the bolt holes in the arm and the subframe are on the same vertical axis, then lightly tap the arm in place using rubber mallet. You can help the bolt with rubber mallet, too. that's what I did. also, clean up the corrosion/pitting with scothcbrite or something. another way is to slightly file the metal part of the control arm bush - see some naptowntuner vids.

Thanks, I'll check out naptowntuner's videos. I use a metal wired brush to clean the surfaces before installing the arms. It requires a great deal of force to tap in the arm using a rubber mallet, and they somehow always ended up offset.

you said you can get some smaller diameter bolts in - perhaps try hitting those on their side to move the arm and fine tune with prybar
