Hello, I just replaced the passenger-side half shaft in my '93 Park Avenue Ultra. That really wasn't too terrible of a job. The problem is getting everything put back together. Try as I might (and I have spent a good deal of time trying), I have not been able to get the knuckle hole lined up with the stud of the ball joint so that I can get them joined up. It is close, but I can't seem to get the knuckle pushed towards the car that last 1/2" or so to get them lined up at the proper angle (stud needs to be angled in towards the car somewhat). Are there any tricks out there for getting this thing back together? Although I don't fix cars for a living, I usually am able to get these things figured out sooner or later, but I am getting pretty frustrated on this one. Thanks for any help! Regards, Phil
