Hi all, I'm having a problem trying to put/reinstall the driver front strut assembly back in place no matter how hard I try it won't go back in I tried from all angles still the same now my fender has some new scratches....any advice/tips on how to remount it on the car ?? I also tried to install the top 3 bolts first but still no luck it won't have enough clearance for the axle it'll sit right on top of the axle and crushes the axle boot.

How is your car lifted up? Is it lifted up on one corner only or all 4 wheels off the ground? If your car is lifted up on one side only the problem for the front could be the sway bars are holding the entire hub assembly up higher, if you remove one side of the endlink, it might allow you to have more slack. Or you could use a prybar to pry down on it a bit. Not exactly sure what the situation is, but hope this helps.
