Put a jack under the joint and jack it up a wee bit, once it has pressure on it it stops spinning and allows you to tighten the bolt

thanks for reply I already tried this, will try again tommorow, just spent hours getting the the bottom ball joint in due to not knowing about dropping the subframe to get it back in.

Takes quite abit of pressure to stop it moving bud, but dont put so much on that you dont feel safe doing so if you get me?

Push it in start the nut then get some one to apply pressure to the steering as you turn the nut. Assuming you have both wheels on the floor should work.
