stock suspension install problem

so im in the process of getting my zeals rebuild, but in order to do that, i'll need them off my car, and my cars my DD, so i need it driving. and so i picked up stock suspension, and tried installing it earlier today, and somehow, i cant get it in.

Seems like their too long for it to fit, i tried unbolting the sway bars and everything, but i can not get the control arm low enough for it to bolt in. the pics show the control arm at lowest, dont think i can get it any lower without breakin anything.



you guys ever had this problem?

Do you have stock rubber bushings? If so they are extremely stiff, they work by the rubber twisting so its going to be hard to move.

I'd don't know what to tell you. As long as you can't see anything its binding on, I'd give it a good old man handle.

Also make sure you leave the sway bar unhooked.

get the bottom bolt in, then just push the hub. it'll rock into place.
