Ok, hey guys today i was installing some 1 inch coil spacers, too level out the jeep, it was sitting too low in the front because of the winch...So i do the drivers side perfect, took of sway bar linkage, lower shock mount and lower control arm, that went fine even though it was a little difficult to re align the holes for the lower C/A. I did the same now to the pasenger side but the holes dont lign up at all for the lower C/A. Anyone know why this could be?? PLease help. Im stuck...

 

put a jack under the axle,happened to me when I did the upper arms,just gotta muscle it a little

 

You mean put the jack under the axle, and raise it up??

 

yeah raise it till its in position then put the bolt in

 

Yea, I tried that nothing.......thanks anyways

 

use a ratchet strap with your jack. lift the axle and then use the strap to pull it over whichever way you need it to go. that is what i do

 

I had this problem with the UCAs when I did them and had to use ratchet straps around the front axle to pull the axle back towards the rear to line up the holes. As stated, jacking should have helped, but I had no problem when I did the LCAs. Bolts came out with a saw and new ones lined up perfectly with the holes. Axle's caster probably changed with the extra spacer?? Good luck. Hope this helps.

 

LOL....superj beat me to it !! Should work...

 

Alright thanks...Ill try the ratchet strap.... Tommorow.

 

YESSS!!!! GOT IT!! Ok so I couldnt wait till tomorrow so I went outside I couldnt find a ratchet strap, but I actually got it in place with the winch lol, It worked perfect....Thanks guys.
