The front is a breeze.

Sorry to be bumping this thread but I am at wit's end after wrestling (unsuccessfully) for hours trying to align the lower control arm and the spindle assembly.
I'm using a jack to raise the camber arm as well as a separate jack to raise the spindle assembly.
Anyone have any other tips?
UPDATE: By some miracle of God I got one side to line up. Reassembly was easy. Emboldened, I figured lightning would not strike twice and that the other side would be easier. No such luck, as history repeats itself. Back at it again tomorrow. It's unbelievable...
