Re: centering control arm shafts

Post some pictures of what your working with . I used all new moog parts and drilled the cross member for the 9/16" u bolts , install the shafts onto the frame making sure to locate the pin in the lower shaft and torque the lower shafts in place with the U bolts , then install the lower control arm onto the shaft and just catch the first thread with the cap on each end , mark the caps and alternate tightening them 1 turn on the front ,then one turn on the back until they bottom out on the control arm . once on the ground you can torque the caps, the same process can be used for the top . Much easier than trying to use a vice or on the garage floor
