Being that far off, might you have the wrong control arm?

Compare the new arm to the old one to see if they are the same part.

its off by about a 1/4 inch when i try and put the clamp over. they look almost identical to the old ones.

Had the same problem. The drivers side was pretty far off so i didn't use it. The passenger side was off a little but not enough to bother me, so I used it. I email the company that sold them and they were very helpful. I sent them pics and measurements. But in the end they ended up refunding my money for that side because they couldn't figure out what was wrong, why they were different. When i compared the driver side to the stock arm they looked the same but when you put a tape on them there was definately a difference in width.
Hope this helps

heres some pics of mine and the difference between stock and the new.

Where did you buy them? I just put a new set on last week that I got from eBay and they fit perfect, maybe you got the wrong part or a defect.
