Track bar connection problem
Permalink  

I installed all new bushings in the rear control arms and put everything back together. I went to install the rear track bar and it is about 3/4" short of connecting up to the final mounting point. None of the arms are bent and everything went in the way it came off. Any ideas? confuse

Yup! Let the axle hang plus you may have to get her an extra push to the left as well.......

The car is in the air. My concern with pushing anything to fit, is that it would then be under tension. Also, there isn't too much give. I guess I'll have to give it another try. Thanks.

too bad so far away, I'd pop over and give you a hand. It's easier with a buddy, mine went in without any problems.

So, can I assume that the slight alignment problem I have is normal? I'll get my son to help me if that is the case. Thanks.

A little elbow grease is all that's needed.
