I'm in the process rebuilding the entire front end. Last thing I have left is the Lower control arms. Got the passenger side off really easily, but I'm having a hell of a time getting it lined back up for reinstall. Seems it's off about half an inch maybe a little less, like the axle needs to go forward to get the rear bolt in. Uppers were a breeze, so any tips on the lowers would be great. Also fixing to install the borgeson steering shaft, had no idea it wasn't going to be a simple removal and install of the new shaft. So if anyones done that too, I wouldn't mind some tips on that either. Thanks.
