So just finished installing the front LCAs with poly bushes and everything is going fine, until I try to reinstall the driver side upright. It seems like the in-and-out play of the axle is vastly reduced, like something is obstructing movement within the boot.
This issue is not letting me reinstall the upright because I cannot get it to reach the installation points. Either I bolt it to the strut knuckle and I can't swing it into the ball joint mount, or I bolt up the ball joint and I can't get it to the strut knuckle. The passenger side went in just fine.
Any ideas?

If the inner joint was over extended and it dropped one of the bearings it could jam it from going back in all the way, may need to open the boot and take a look inside. The outer joint only moves around in a circle, not in and out like the inner one, so the issue is likely the inner joint.
