cross member install help - pics
hey all,
I'm attempting to reinstall my cross member with rear differential attached. I've cleaned the round metal frame pieces that slide into the cross member in order to make install easier. The problem is the cross member doesn't seem to pull all the way up when tightening the bolt. I've tried putting the floor jack under and jacking but that just lifts the car. any ideas on how to snug ut up tight?
thanks,
andy

That doesn't look bad,if the threads the bolt is going into is just inside the hole then your done. I went back and looked at the link I sent you and it appears to be too close but it could be the angle of the pic.
