Default Help with AEV Control Arm Bracket
I just installed AEV DualSport this weekend and now installing the AEV Control Arm Drop Bracket. It's not even close to lining up for either the UCA or LCA. Any advice to share? I've attached a pic to see how far i'm off. Thanks!

push your front tire back. it will fit you just need to shift your axle.

If you can not push the tire back use a ratchet strap.

One of the functions of those brackets is to adjust the caster, which means 'tilting' the housing. Ratchet strap, floor jack, muscle, you just need to move the housing to where the holes line up.

I was trying to isntall with all four wheels on the ground, which is what i thought the instructions suggested. Are you saying I should jack it up and then push my front tire back? Sorry for dumb question.
