problem with suspension installation...help

[malin819]

Hi guys!

I bought a suspension from a fellow member that doesnt take hourssssssssssssss to adjust.

Koni yellow struts and H&R springs

The suspension had been sitting for a while so the are not compressed. I installed the rear without any problems but had to compress the strut with a jack to install it.

Now the front...i manage to install the top without a problem but for the bottom, The strut and **Knuckle** dont line up at all!! The strut is sitting on the axle and I cant figure out a way to compress it with a jack since the control arm is in the way. The knuckle is a couple inches up the strut...

any tips to install the front?

Take a really long & thick pry bar & pry down on the lower control arm out near the ball joint. This will lower everything & then u will be able to line the holes up on the spindle

Try disconnecting the sway bar. This will let the control arm (and knuckle) swing down more easily.
