So I have gotten my old ball joint out. I have the new one bolted to the steering knuckle. Now this is where everyone says you are home free but I cant get my hub to move back into place so that the bolt sits over the hole. The hub is angled outwards and No matter how much I push on it it wont move. I dont know what to do as it is pretty apparent that it has to move if the ball joint will ever sit into the lower A arm. I am wondering if maybe when I jacked the hub up if I pulled the CV differential apart and now its stuck? Can this even happen? I really need help. Everyone says its so easy but I just cant get it back into place. What am I doing differently?

 

Rotate your CV joint and it should push back so that your ball joint will line up. I happened to me when I just rebuilt my front end. I had to pull a little on the cv, rotate it a little, then push it back in. I should go right in. Otherwise I would suggest loosening up your torsion bar so that you can move your upper control arm up and down then doing the same thing again. I will go in there. Unless something is major wrong.....which I doubt.

Good luck man.

 

Thanks dude. Thats exactly what it was. I thought that would be the problem and with a few spins it went back in. Wouldn't have made a thread if I knew it would be such an easy fix hah. Thanks again though.
