I thought I would take on my lower control arms this weekend as the bushings were in pretty bad shape. This was a mistake. I'm on day two and now realize why the arms weren't going back in. The entire front axle shifted 3 inches towards the driver side and now they won't line up (boy will I need an alignment after this botched job).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can realign my front axle just enough to get the control arms back on so I can take it to an alignment shop? I've tried jacking the axle up just a little ways then moving the jack, no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get to work tomorrow.

Removed the track bar, used a couple racheting tiedown straps and it eventually aligned up. Thanks for the help.
