Default Skunk2 LCA's won't go in.

Anyone else had issues with installing the Skunk2 LCA's? The bushings are too wide and tight that there is no wiggle room to get the bolts thru. Any suggestion?

yeah even some dish soap will help, also....and i just finished putting on some lower control arms haha...

Make sure your bolts have that long pointed end.

One of my bolts when i took it off, then end was too rusty it fell off....i tried to get it in for hours....luckily i had a spare bolt from the junkyard....

Without the long smooth pointed end, the bolt cannot set itself. What i did, was took a small screwdriver stuck it through the hole, and then through the LCA hole, and wiggled until it lined up, or just enough so i could shine a light through one side, and see it through the other. Then you stick that pointed part through, gently tap with a hammer, and it will slide itself into place until you can start threading.

Goodluck.
