Default Tie Rods and shock ext.

Hey guys. I’m having trouble connecting my tie rods, shocks, control arms on my 2007 Lexus IS250. I’ve tried starting from top to bottom. I’m not sure if the bearing on the cv axle popped off. How can I tell? And does anyone know a little cheat to help me out?

I’ll be able to connect the upper and lower tie rods but nothing else. As in im pretty sure it’s the control arms n the shock. Or I can connect the two other thing but not tie rods and shock.

So maybe the axle extended too far? I've had this happen was able to push it back in by fighting with it while rotating.

There is no upper or lower tie rod. There is a lower ball joint and one tie rod. No upper ball joint.

What parts were replaced?
