Help- rear strut not lining up with lower arm
What did I do wrong?
The car was lowered 1 inch prior with coilovers now I'm trying to put factory shocks back. Did I put them together wrong seems way off to me..

I don't tighten up the top 4 bolts until I have the bottom attached. You have to disconnect the LCA from the knuckle to drop it down to allow space for the strut/spring assembly to swing into place.

yup, undo the bolts at the top. Bolt the bottom in first but do nott tighten it down. Ypou can then jack up the arm a bit to bet the top bolts started if needed.
