Exclamation putting strut assembly back on?????

I've been redoing my whole front suspension and i'm putting it all back together, but i can't find a way to put the strut assembly back on. I've tried mounting it in the tower first but it is to long to get back on does anyone know how to do this. thanks

your on the right track.. after you mout it to the tower.. your going to need to use a big pry bar or something to lower your control arm so the strut assembly lighns up with the wheel hub assembly.. i use a large philips screw driver to help align the holes....

When I put mine back in I just pushed down on the control arm with one foot and "gently" kicked/tapped the strut assembly back on to the wheel assembly.

Get a breaker bar lower your control arm and just pop it in. Works wonders
