Anyhow, same thing happened with the lower control arm shafts and bushings. Try to keep the shaft "even" the whole time while screwing on the bushings, and then the bushings bottom out on the shaft well before they bottom out on the control arm, and then the shaft turns extremely difficult in the control arm.

I'll be trying this guys method to fix it:

Besides that, anyone know what the correct "ear" spacing is on both upper and lower control arms is supposed to be?
