- Mon Sep 27, 2010 2:08 am #215525 So i got a problem. Was working on the front end on my hatch. And i had the rotor sitting on the edge of a milk crate to prevent it from dislocating. And i took the bolts off for the upper control arm and the rotor had to slip off the crate, and the axle dislocated on the inner side. Anyone know how i can put it back togother?

ohhh, didnt know that. Thanks for letting me know, i would have found out the hard way ha.
