Re: Control Arm

See how your question was answered. I would feel like i'm hijacking your thread.

How would you go about getting the control arm in to the steering knuckle. If you are putting it in yourself. When i try to tighten the nut it just spins. What do I have to do to get it the rest of the way on.

Re: Control Arm

You could try putting a jack under it to press it tight into the knuckle so it doesn't spin.

Or the ghetto way is to hold it with a vicegrips (under the knuckle) while you tighten it.
