I am a newbie when it comes to working on cars. Since I got my coilovers done, I have wanted to put in the Superpro bushings in my control arms. While I feel that I was successful pressing out the old bushings and pushing the new ones in, I cannot for the life of me put the control arms back in their home. I have removed the brake rotor and caliper to give me more room to work with, but it just doesn't have much wiggle room. I've tried jacking up the front inner bushing into place, but that has no room, either.
Overall, I'm stuck on where to go from here. This is my last day off, and I don't know if I just didn't press the bushings in far enough, or if I need to heat up an area to help it bend, or if I need to pry up on a particular area. Hoping someone with mechanical knowledge can help me here.
