<VV> Front Crossmember

[Gary Swiatowy]

I ran into that issue before myself.
I found that when raising the lower control arm with a floor jack, it would 
lift the car off the jackstand before you could connect the ball joint.
By remedy was 2 people in the trunk for some added weight, and barely got 
it.
I think the book recommends, having the lower control      attached to the 
ball joint and raising the inner end into place.

Other than that, the spring must be compressed.
