aright guys i've searched all over the ****** place and i couldn't find an answer.

as i was changing my wheel bearing i messed up the thread on the ball joint (upper control arm, drivers side). So on my way replacing uca i took out the bolts in the engine compartment, (not the middle one) and then the flange bolt on lower arm. i got room to take out the uca but now i can't get the flange bolt back on.

now i can't get the shock up to align with the lower arm to put in the flange bolt. it gets stuck and can't get the shock higher. I don't know if i fucked something up or what? its aligned vertically not horizontally.

i tried a jack. banging on it as it gets stuck trying to put it up holding the hub down. What should i do? have i messed anything up ?

if its bolted to the shock tower all you have to have someone do is stand on your hub assembly and push the shock fork into place and bolt it up
