HELP! lower strut bar install can't get it to line up
 

This is ridiculous. I can't get the two holes to line up on my lower control arms to reinstall the bolt. I've banged away with a BFH to get it to line up, its as if it is angled funny and wont line up no matter what. I've tried to use a jack to jack it up/down etc...

I do have a tein h tech 1.5" drop with the 3 washer camber trick in the back I put in a few months ago...dont know if that is making this difficult or not.

Help please, I thought this would be an easy 5 minute job I need my car tomorrow! thanks!

is the strut bar adjustable? just adjust it.... at least most bars ive seen are adjustable. how far is it off?

Thanks...got it. It always works out like that, post a rant and lo and behold it popped in 10 minutes later - guess I just needed a break. Had someone help me with the front, a LOT easier to align with two people instead of one.

It was actually the LCA that was slanted. So the bolt would go in the first hole but point upwards b/c the LCA was slanted up. I had to really REALLY hold that LCA down and pull to finally get it to pop in, like I said, I think I was just tired, needed a break.

thanks!
