[unknown]

[dlb]

it should line up fine if you have the first bolt in. where did you get your struts? could be the wrong ones.

I put a large pry bar through the sway bar and under the lateral strut and step on it to get the lower holes to line up. Having another person do that for you is a big help.

You put the bottom bolt in first. Make sure the concentric washer is installed in the upper hole before you start. Then you just move the top of the steering knuckle in or out as needed for the upper bolt.
