Cant bolt the strut back up - nearside.

[ekaJ]

Hi guys, the strut is just too low and I cant align it all up. Any tips?

What parts have you go jacked up?

Jack both sides up, if one wheel is on the floor it pushes on the anti roll bar I think

Jack it up/down until the rear beam lines up with the strut, Poke the strut top through the mounting point and put the nut on loose, Then bolt the strut to the beam and tighten it all up.

Ive got the strut top mounted, also tried jacking the other side up and still not enough room?

Thanks for help guys.

Try jacking the near side down (if you still have the wheel attached) and this should push the beam up, Also try putting a jack under the beam, make sure it doesnt take the cars weight though just its own if you know what i mean.

lift the hub up to meet the strut (or push it down if you need to) with a breaker bar through the lower arm

Surprised he's having issues with the amount of droop on the std dampers
