    Default Erhmuhgerd I nurd hurp

    Whilst putting on my new suspension I disconnected the upper control arm. To clear the area and get the new suspension in I pulled the connecting arm down and away. Now I can't get it to go back into place. The whole wheel hub is stuck in a downward position. Did I pull one of the half shafts out of place?It's on the right hand side and the car is a right hand drive rig.

    Aside being borderline retarded I am fairly new to working on cars so be gentle.

    Yeah man you messed up the cv axle. I did this to my old integra a couple of years ago doing suspension. Had to replace the axle.

    I conferred with a colleague of mine and apparently I just need to put the joint back together.
