Aje a arm and k member issue
90 foxbody with aje k and aje control arms. Did anybody else have issues installing them? The k member went in with no issues but the a arms don't want to slide in. The rubber bushings won't slide in between the mounting tabs. Anybody else have a similar problem? I searched but it seems people have had the opposite problem and had to shim with washers. Obviously I could call aje but they are most likely closed until Monday and I was trying to get the install done this weekend.

I no longer have the originals. They seem to be pressed in all the way but I suppose I could put a c clamp on them and see if they compress some. I'll give that a shot and let u know.

Sorry it took so long to update, I ended up hammering the mounting brackets out a little with a rubber mallet just enough to slide in. The gap then tightened up just fine. Already installed a manual rack and ordered coilovers for the setup. Not a big issue but something aje should probably fix. I also had to dremel the opening on one side of the k slightly to mount the steering rack
