I unbolted one of the 2 bolts but now the control arm is out of place. It's not aligned with the rest of the car, its pushed a bit to the left. Is there any way I can put it back so I can put on my rear tie bar. Here are some pictures so you know what I mean.

The control arm went this way right after I took out the bolt. Need help!

put the jack on the bottom of the tire with a piece of wood then jack it up till the point that you can move it with a screwdriver, do this while thecar is on jack stands

Use a pry bar and a drift punch to move things back

mallet and pry bar

Pull on the bottom of the wheel/tire/rotor and have someone stick a screwdriver in there so it holds.

that exactly what I did when I installed mine.

A jack+ a 2x4 & I played with it until I got it aligned.

Yeha use a jack to get it alligned, next time keep a jack under the control arm when you take to bolt of so you dont have the same problem

A jack and the butt of the rachet for me works. Doesn't take too much effort if u use the jack method. :thumbsup:
