everything has to fit right to work right, just as in humans and cars or anything else, cars are no different,. that why I wrote ease on motion, you can't over lift something or bind joints beyond it's limit
do you have all the other parts for the front, if you just started I would check out full kits on ebay, all the ties joints arms etc, so your not working on all this mix and match stuff.

I did both my Upper Control Arms last summer. Had a heck of a time as the rear spindle on both sides were seized to the sleeve. There was no amount of anything that I could have done with what I had. So I had to grind them out and replace with new. The control arms cost $115.00 each The Spindles cost $18.00 each. I do have the Part Numbers on both Spindles if you need. But I am sure yours may come off. ![[Linked Image]](http://i578.photobucket.com/albums/ss227/ijag/DSC_2548.jpg) Good Luck on yours

The 2 spindles (or bolts)I got are apparently dealer items only, or an auto wrecker. I don't know about your area but around here I found only one place with 2 Sportages, and they are a 45 minute drive. But I would want to go new for these.
the front alignment bolts were in good shape still so I just reused them.
The bushings are connected to the control arm.
