rear control arm question

[2fastnotch]

i put south side upper and lower control arms on. now i have the offroad model of a coupe. i left the bolts loose and used a floor jack to push the rear into place it didnt work.

These aren't a walk in the park. I had a floor jack on the center pig and the car itself on blocks. I also used a "come-a-long" to get the rear end forward and back to get them in place. I don't know how else I can help other than to say you have to fight with them.

+1 you gotta use some persuasion
and muscle.

PICS from that dreaded night all by myself. (No, it did not take me 14 hours like the times in the pics say, these weren't even takes the same day.)

I did mine by myself too. I had a stout length of 2x4 that was my best friend that day. I had to use it to pry the rear end forward or back.
