i have gotten my new rotors and hub assembly back on. The problem i am having is that the lower ball joint is too far away and it doesn't matter how i turn my wheel or how hard i push i cannot get it back far enough to get the bolt into the arm hole, what can i do?

put a floor jack under the lower control arm and jack it up. does that make it closer? loosen up top ball joint to try and get more play.
