Hey guys, are there any tricks to reinstalling the front passenger cv axle on a C4S? When pulling the axle out I unbolted the 4 bolts on the front side member attached to the control arm. Now, i've rebuilt the axle, and when reinstalling I've got it back in on both the diff and wheel sides. However, I can't seem to get the side member aligned to the chassis to bolt the side member back in.

I can move the side member around a bit when under the car but it does not want to align to the holes. Is there a trick that I am missing here?

Finally figured it out. I had to loosen the axle from the diff side in order to get enough play to bolt the side member back in. Then the axle can be attached to the diff. What a pain.
