    Makes sense. I was confused by using off set alone for wheel clearance.

    Bend more or use a long screwdriver/punch/prybar to tap it through.

    Two ways to get the bolt back in easily. First is with vise grips, attach as far up as possible, rotate them as you pull the bolt inward. Second way is to remove the grill, and use a long screw driver or a pry bar to punch the bolt in. Both ways you're going to have to make sure the bolt lines up to get through the other side of the control arm or you'll find yourself cussing at it because it's not moving.

    Also make sure the UCA bolt is still
    straight. If you wheel your truck is is possible to bend one of the bolts without that much carnage. One of mine was bent, I was able to force it out because of the way it was bent but it didn’t/shouldn’t want to go back in of course and I bought a new one.

    Front suspension tear-down was a success! JBAs sitting pretty. That UCA bolt was a pita, but there's a finesse to it. Anyway, I was able to get everything installed however I was not able to add any grease with my grease gun, every time I tried to get a firm seal, the grease would just push out the side. Anyone else have trouble? I think it might just be my 20$ gun.

    It should, as long as you have a sharp drill bit. Dont go to big on the bit or you will be making the hole bigger and your gonna have to use a bigger bit. Just a warning have patience.

    It sounded like he wanted to fix it. So if he does that would be the way. If he isnt worried about it then zip tie.
