Stimmel1647545512 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Okay here's the deal, I'm running or trying to run a 8.8 turbo coupe disc brake rear in my 88 5.0 vert im running hotchkis style upper and lower control arms with poly bushings all around. I had 7 out of 8 bolts in the rear and the arms but the last upper bolt the one going into the housing would not line up the control arms are brand new anyone got any ideas or want to help?

Bam Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 That last one is always a pain, its most likely because of the poly bushings, they don't allow nearly as much flex. It took me and a friend 2 days to get my last bolt in, actually, I could get it started, but it was always off a 1/2 or so. After 3 hours of wiggling and fucking with it we gave up. The next day we got it in under 10 minutes...go figure, lol. just try raising/lowering/tilting/twisting the rearend, definitely need a friend, but it'll go.
