Rear Upper Control Arm forward bolt...easy peasy.
So I decided to adjust my rear pinion angle as it was a 1.75* off. I struggled for two hours getting the passenger rear upper control arm front bolt to catch (tougher with the lowers already in place). So after a couple of quick attempts on the driver's side, I moved the control arm out of the way so I could get an idea of how for in the nut tab has to go to be aligned with the hole. I was going to get it aligned and mark the tab with a sharpie (probably should have done that before I removed them). So anyway, I found that if you set the nut right against the inside of the frame and slide up from the bottom, it gets wedged on something about 1/8" short of the bolt hole. So I took a dead blow hammer and tapped it into place, using the bolt without the control arm to make sure it was perfect. It held in place. Then I removed the bolt and attached the control arm. Less than 5 minutes total.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Bad. Stock DS uses a CV (rzeppa joint). It's designed to run at an angle, not straight on like an after market shaft. The angle of the pinion should match the angle of the t-case output. So, two parallel lines.
