Fun Day w/happy ending

[MrShaft696]

So I thought it would be fun to rebuild my upper control arms today & they have a johnny joint at the one end & fixed at the other (tomken uses currie replacment parts). Other than the fact that dealing with snap rings and all that was a pain in the ass etc. it took way longer than it should. It was a pain to get the holes lined back up afterwards. The drivers side is not so hard but the passenger side would not give, I jacked it up and down and all around. So I got fed up and hooked my truck's little tow hook up to a "come a long" then a strap right to the axle of the jeep. I cranked it up and the axle went right into place. It was a pain in the ass and took way too long, but this is what it looked liked to get the bolt back in if anyone cares....

I thought you meant a different kind of happy ending

Caster is a PITA to set though, glad you got it set up right. The last time I replaced my uppers, it took a good couple hours with a come along and my dad pushing the axle to get it into place

I think this is it (RSJJ & RLJJ) http://www.tomken.com/catalog.php?search=terms=&model=XJ&year=all&cat=all&pos=8

If you call them and tell then you have the XJ arm for the 4" lift they will know exactly what to send you.
