I took my 400 apart to get painted and all,now i have it all back together except for the top a-arms there being a pain in the a##

when i try to tighten the bolt the whole thing just spins i'v tried everything to hold it but it just keeps spinning plz help!!!

Did you try holding it with a wrench, on the other side.

I assume your talking about the ball joint in the a-arms? If it's spinning it means that the ball joint is worn out, and needs to be replaced. As you know they are not the removable kind, unless you have aftermarket arms, in which case you will need to either purchase aftermarket arms, or buy some new OEM arms.

LOL..if the ball joint is spinning is does NOT mean it is worn out

if it is an OEM arm, then slide the rubber boot down and you will see a place to hold the ball joint while you snug it up.
