EVO front lower control arm HELP!

[Jake Wilson]

Hey,
Installing a Evo front lower arm. We can't get it to go on smoothly. Are we putting it on backwards?!

Looks right to me. Bend goes in. We had to do some prying to get the bolts lined up.

Yep we got them put in and bolted.

You need to get a floor jack to move the axle. You'll never get it with the scissor jack not to mention it's far from being safe.

^^this^^ :yup:

I use ratchet straps from the axle to the frame to manipulate it. Super easy!

Hahaha, the scissor jack wasn't actually putting pressure on the axel. We were using to lower or raise one side of the axel. Once we maneuvered the axel around it went it with very little effort.

Thank you all for your help.

Late to the party but, the jack needs to be almost at the yoke to rotate the axle, not under the diff.
