solved - got into trouble on my spring install (df210>xB)
I've come to the point where I am trying to re-mount the front struts to the car. I've tightened down the top bolts very well. I can't get the lower holes on the strut to match up. I cannot replace the bolts that attach the shock assembly to the suspension, the strut bolt holes are a 1/4 inch too far down.
this is what I need to get to:
help help help help puleeeeeeze help anyone?
I did make sure that I had the top metal cup 'out' when I put the mount and the 'big nut' back on.

or if the holes on the strut are lower , you have to pusth down on thr rotor or control arm and get the part with the bolt holes into the strut. then pull it towards you as you push down a little. you should be able to see the holes line up and stick in the bolt. i hope that made sense.

I used a flathead to leverage the control arm into place.
trying to use hand tools to tighten those back couple of strut brace bold is a bisuit.
