I wrote that very asleep.

I don't know how well a drill is going to do because it will not have anything to grab onto on that one side. I was thinking about using my die grinder and expanding the first hole.
My drill press might work though but I don't even know the last time that thing was turned on

It's so close a rat-tail file on the bracket should make the o into a 0

Not perfect but it will do I guess. The nut may be in the way of the stud though so I might have to shear off the end of it. Gonna be gay

Now my LCA and UCA don't line up with the knuckle lol I love this. If I am missing something someone point it out but it looks like another weekend with no progress. and another one after this because I am going on vacation fml



You should be able to see the top of the knuckle is nowhere near the UCA ball joint. Any ideas? This project gets more frustrating each time I work on it.

Life is hard, its more harder when you are dumb

All the suspension should move around and you should be able to get it to line up. Hard to tell what you issue is with that pic.

I think I have my camber plates set too far back. If I readjusted them then I think the UCA should fit in the knuckle.

Basically I can’t get the UCA into the knuckle. Not sure exactly why.

Edit: In that photo the knuckle physically cannot go any farther back. I am guessing I need the DJM UCA as well? I see now that the picture is pretty trash lol I was tired and had already hit my head once last night leading to my last 10 braincells vanishing.

Have you tried being a man and using brute strength?

From that picture it really does look like it just needs some umpf and maybe a second person to help push the spindle over.

My girly arms prevent me from being a man unfortunately

The spindle physically cannot move back anymore. Unless I am retarded but I pushed on it and it goes nowhere.

I created a new thread about this so others may be able to chime in if they don't watch my thread.
