Stock suspension spring install issue
Hey guys,
I was hoping someone would be able to assist with a current issue I have.
I have been putting my car back to stock and I have 3 out of 4 corners done already, but for some reason the lower control arm on my right rear refuses to line up when I try to lift it into place to put the bolt back in. I have spent several hours trying different methods to get it pushed back in, but I can't get it to align correctly once there is tension on the spring. I have tried with and without spring compressors, I was actually able to install the left side not using a spring compressor and it worked at the 3rd attempt.
Not sure if it is the sway bar that might be the issue as I tried to use a second jack raising it to help the right side line up, but no luck so far. I've kept the parts connected to the lower control arm lose in order to see if that would give wiggle room to get it in place. Nothing worked so far.
Does anyone had this issue before and what did you do to get it fixed?
Appreciate your help!
Thanks!
