Energy suspention bushings question

Hey people,

Just a quick question here. Today I spend some time putting my wishbones back on after putting the energy suspention bushings on and got the problem that it seem the brace at the end doesn't seem to fit anymore, it's moved backwards a couple of mils and I cant get the bolt in.

Has anyone else experienced this? is it normal or did I do something wrong? whats the best solution, make the holes on the brace a bit wider so I can move it a bit back? or should I adjust the bushings itself?

Forgot to bring my camera along so no pics yet

nasty sticky grease, lol...If you have a fairly large punch, and you can get at least a little of it in the hole, you can pry from there to get a line-up...You can also try jacking the strut up from the ball joint area (use a small piece of wood between jack head & car), to see if that helps...
