So I replaced the lower control arms and the passenger come off easy. The driver side was a pain in the ass and I use the sledge hammer to knock the lower ball joint out. I know I should've used the tool didn't have one at 1 in the morning. Now my lower control arm rubs the rotor. Any input on this, did I bend the knuckle? Thanks in advance

you probably broke the lower ball joint.

If I did it was the old one..... I was beating the old one off and then installed new control arms so that's not broken

Maybe readjust the bolts connecting to the frame?

Yea I'm thinking my boy was hitting the knuckle and control arm hard.... Think we counted the hits at 43 swings, I may start with the knuckle, they're cheap enough..... Before that I'm going to spend some money on some tools....lol. thanks for the links
