This definitely needs to be mentioned in the DIY in my opinion.
There was no possible way the wishbone arm was going into the subframe without modification.
Grinding either ball joint mounting face or the subframe is a must. I don't have a table grinder to just place the arm on so I had to dremel the subframe mounting bracket down. Anyone else planning to do this should make sure you have some sort of grinding tool. Buy a few grinding stones lol. If all i had was a handheld file, I would have been there all day. Dremel took care of it in a few minutes.
Edit: Wishbone is the rear control arm in the front.
