Sorry. I made a rookie mistake. I thought the control arm will eventually Rotate and settle down once I drive around enough......instead of bushings just get damaged.


So I will jack up the car, place 2 jack stands on front, remove both wheels, loosen the control arms, put the wheels back on, lower the car on the ground to Measure the distance from hub to the fender. And I put 2 jack stands again, remove the wheels, jack up the brake disc to raise it to the measurement and tighten it there.


The other option is jack up the car with middle jack point, remove both wheels, place 2 jack stands right underneath the brake discs and lower it to the measurement?

I have 2 jack stands and one floor jack. Is there a better way?

Shit I will ask alignment shop if they can do it too since they can put on those alignment lift and tighten it there.
