82 280ZX Front Suspension

Hey fellaz,


I have a strange issue...and I can't figure out what the deal is. I have replaced or cleaned up almost everything in the front suspension. Now, when I slide the strut / spring assembly back in to bolt it in, I have about a two inch difference between the bottom of the strut assembly and the knuckle arm that I need to bolt it to. I have the strut assembly pushed up as high as I can, and I have attempted to pull down on the control arm to see if I can get it over but it won't work.


Do I need to attempt crank the control arm down so that I can get the assembly back on top of the knuckle, or did I not reassemble the strut assembly when I replaced the cartridges correctly...and that is the cause of my issue.


Any advice would be great.


Thanks,
MC
