I've just replaced my bearings, but I can't seem to get the hub ball joints lined up to the lower and upper suspension arms, it's almost like the driveshaft is poking too far out, but its engaged, and not been pulled out. I just cant seem to get the driveshaft at the right angle for both ball joints.
Thanks guys,
Connor,

Have you got the hubs on the right side?

The driveshafts are sided. The longer driveshaft fits on the drivers side and the smaller on the passenger side.

All sorted now mate after about an hour today fiddling around with the driveshaft, it kind of pushed back into the gearbox and the hub then lined up with the suspension arms.
