I've been in a wreck a few months back. Up till now I have everything I need to get my ride back on that road plus some goodies...I bought a suspension techniques front sway bar, eibach prokit, energy suspensions bushings kit, and found a 4G63T in the junk yard for 149 bucks!:hellyeah:

My problem is wit the control arm. I have my cross member bolted up to tha chassie and now I'm installing the control arm. There's is an area on the cross member where a bracket bolts up to hold part of the control arm up. There's a hole on the bracket with a rubber bushing around it. A long bolt goes through that hole and screws into the chassie of the car (not the cross member). With the control arm up and the OTHER three bolts installed on the bracket, you can see through the bracket that the hole on the chassie is not lined up with everything else.
i need some advice on fixing that hole.
PLEASE HELP! i've bought too many parts to be held back by sum stupid hole:pray:

P.S. sorry for short spelling my words...I blame myspace-LOL...first time joining a forum

This is the best I can do with the pics...The car is jacked up as high as I can get it and I have to lay under it to take the pics. Sorry if these don't help but any advice would be great.

I don't think anyone has an answer for you. Your grammar makes it almost impossible to comprehend what your trying to communicate to us. The pictures are worthless because you have the zoom, apparently, set to infinity. I can't understand anything in those pictures, at all. Take a couple minutes and fix the grammar and spelling in your post, delete those pictures, and take some better ones. I'm sorry I can't help. I'm not trying to be a dick towards you sir, it's just this post is impossible.
 
Have you tried useing a screw driver to align the holes up?

Edit: Sorry miss read. Is the cross member or chassi bent or twisted? You need to find out which is messed up. If its the cross member change it. If its the chassi your going to have to do some welding. I wish you had a gsx I have plenty of spare parts I am trying to get rid of.

I agree get some better pics we cant really see much in those (if you can).
