cuda upper control arm

[B5fourspeed]

I am putting my upper control arms in place and I cannot get one side of a control arm in the opening.The bushings are new.I don't want to bring out the big hammer until I get some advice.Thanks

I use a weighted rubber mallet....I find that they all need a little persuasion

Doesn't hurt to make sure that the bushings are seated properly and then a little grease to help it slide in. Like anything else in life, if you have to force it, something is wrong...

I used a rubber mallet and I was able to get them in.Thank you for the help.
