old-tank Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I assume the jackstands are under the frame, so jack up the rear end with a wheeled floor jack placed parallel to the axle so it can be moved side to side.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just did the same thing a couple months ago. I got under the car(securely supported with jack stands)and pushed the rear with my foot to line up the holes,if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete O Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Mightn't it have been easier to install the radius rods before putting the rear on the car? This way you could have made sure everything was squared up while it was easily accessible, without having to lay on your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Did you remove the springs? These should go in last. It will give you a lot more play to get things lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randy123 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 never removed the springs,i ended up getting it today,had my brother push the rearend over with his feet and it slid right in.thanks for everyones help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 While your under there, check the front stabilizer. I replaced the radius rod bushings at the same as the links and bushings up front and now my car rides like a Cadillac....ooops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
