well.....today I took a closer look...and found some trouble. The reason why the upper contol arm wont budge when i pull on the wheel/spidle assembly, is because it has been wedged in the corner of the shock tower....The up and down motion of the control arm has cut a small slit in the shock tower...I am going to remove the spring and and see if that will releive some tension off the contol arm. When you retighten the nut on the engine side, does it need to be snug, extremely tight........??? thanks guys
