Lower Control arm install

HELP

What is going on with it? Can you maybe attach a pic of the issue? I helped someone replace control arms and struts on an Altima and it was a little tricky because if both front wheels were off the ground, the stabilizer bar was "down" too far and obstructed putting the new arm in. I know we had to set the opposite front wheel down to push the bar back up. That may have just been because the end links were removed with the struts, though.

Thanks for the pointer. That was the problem, I had both wheel off the ground at the same time. Had them back on in no time.

I appreciate it
