Hey guys,
Unfortunatly i was in a acident and bent the left radius arm in my EF.
I bought another one from a wrecker, but i am having trouble puting it back in and lining it up with the lower control arm and re-bolting the lower control arm to the body again.
I have taken out the bushes in the K frame, and put the other end of the arm into the lower control arm, but im having trouble lining up the lower control arm to the body.
Am i going about this the right way?
:oops:
Any help would be greatly apriciated

You might need,to the leaver thelower arm with a big bar.But if you cant do that you are better off taking the stub off and fiiting the lower arm seperatley to the radius rod and then fit the stub back in last and make sure you put weight on the rubbers before doing up.Especially the lower control arm bush.

No you shouldnt need to do that at all.You migh have bent also your lower control arm in your accident.I would just try to leaver it in,mate just use shear guts and determination and you will get it in.
