After installing new Monroe Quick struts and new stabilizer bars, i can't seem to get the stabilizers to line up to the holes correctly. I have double checked for incorrect parts, but they are all correct. I know it's something simple I'm not doing but it has got me baffled. Does the knuckle move for adjustment?

Hi,

Is it the stabilizer link you can't align? Is the vehicle still lifted or is it on the ground? If it's on the ground, it can make it a little more difficult.

I attached the directions below for replacing the link. There really isn't anything specific indicated. I personally have run into trouble with the length of the link, so confirm that.

Let me know if it is the link you are working with and if it is too short or long.

Take care,

Joe
