    I am trying to install coilovers on my truck. I was able to install one side easily. The second side won't line up right. When I have the install the top of the coilover, the lower section is twisted so that it won't line up properly with the LCA (Picture attached). Is there a way to adjust this?

    Put a screwdriver or punch through the hole and twist the shaft until it lines up with the lower mount.

    It may also be easier to uninstall the top, bolt in the bottom, then you have the larger diameter of the coils to twist into place with your hands. Not sure if that makes any sense.

    +1 on the screwdriver. Unless you want to do more work than necessary, I'd muscle it in there and it will settle with time.

    Got it, thanks. I used a screwdriver and clamps to start it out. I had to use a rubber mallet to drive it in which forced it to align up the last bit I needed.
