Hi,

When you did get it back together, did everything appear to be properly aligned? Are you certain that you have the control arm for the needed side?

I attached the direction below that explains how to replace the control arm. Take a look through the directions and see if there is anything you possibly missed.

Also, have you had the alignment checked?

Let me know.
