In removing the front strut, I can’t get the knuckle to go low enough to get the strut completely out. Lower control arm is bottomed out on the chassis. Any suggestions?

I am taking fairly new struts off one vehicle to put on another.

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the removal and installation guide for your vehicle's front strut from the vehicle manufacturer. Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
