When you need to adjust, the upper perch sits much better in place and does not turn as easy as when it just lays against the frame.
Thanks, I thought of that too but only after I ran into the problem, then it was too late as I did not want to drop the control arm again. But next time I drop the arm I'll definitely do what you suggested.
In the meantime applying pressure on the top perch with a jack works well as a workaround
