Rear LCA Alignment Woes

[packetstormin]

So I am in the middle of an axle swap and the rear lower links are being an absolute bear to bolt up on the frame side.

I have the upper rear links installed and also the springs.

Any ideas on how to get the lower links to line up with the mounts on the frame?

Is it a stock axle with stock mounts? If so, the frame/axle mounts could be tweaked.

Can you get one of the lowers but not the other?

Try pulling the springs and don't tighten any of the bolts untill all are installed...

Rotate the axle until it fits? There's no voodoo here, assuming your replacement axle is from an 80 Series Land Cruiser.

put some 12k stands under the frame so you can hang the axle and then just move it around until things line up.
