Rear upper control arms Can't get back in.

I'm trying to reinstall my upper control arms after pulling the suspension apart for a diff swap/pillowball bushing install.

It seems to me that the suspension needs to be compressed inorder to get everything back together, I can't seem to get it compressed. Anyone have a particular pecking order to putting these back together?

Wrong section.

Flip them over. I ran into the same issue when I reinstalled mine.

i think its either the tie rods or control arms, idr. but they were actual larger then the hole (on my car) at least. I measured with a micrometer. so i just touched em with 400 grit..anyways...
