How do I properly install a lower control arm?

But you dissambled the same parts that did not want to fit together later?! Mysterious.

Yep! This seems to just be my curse. I have had multiple projects on this car where the tutorials I find gloss over the issue I'm having as if I'm the only one having it.

I'm hoping that perhaps the old part is just swolen or something like that and the new part will slip in without issue. Fingers crossed.
