Need advice on castor rod

[Chef_32]

G'day

i guttered my car a couple of weeks ago, and busted the front left control arm and the castor rod...

I got a second hand set, and i'm trying to install them, but i just can't get the castor rod joint (where the bushes are) to slot in place so i can get the bolt in.

I've got the control arm attached fine.

Anybody got any suggestions as to how to finish the job??

I haven't driven my car in 2 weeks..... :goddam:

please help....

Is the weight off the front wheel, if not try jacking the car up and it should be all good.

should put that part in first, do it up lightly then you should be able to move the wheel forward a bit and get the other 2 bolts into place, have a look for a thread about front sway bars, description in there about the castor rods!!

My stock ones virtually fell out last week when i swaped them over for adjustables. They had stuffed bushes.

The adjustable ones were set about 5mm shorter. I needed a mate to push pretty hard on the brake disk so i could get the front bolt in but that was it.

I had it jacked up under the crossmember and my suspension doesn't have a lot of travel and it wasn't too difficult.
