Default Anyone else had this issue?

I pulled my shock assembly to realign it, the coils top and bottom didn't touch the stops when I put it together the first time. Well now I have a bigger issue, top and bottom are against the stops and now I can't install the rear bolt holding the upper a arm. I went with all new MOOG pieces and Strano Coils.

In the 2nd pic you can see the coil is touching the metal. If I reposition the coil I can get the bolt in just fine, but at that point it's not up against the perches. Any advice help would be awesome!

Double check to make sure you have the correct isolator/mount on the correct side. They're different for each side of the car IIRC, but it has been well over a year since I put my stranos on.

Made sure and I installed in just to see and the compression of the a arm to the body gave me enough room that I could get the nut and bolt in and it's not touching the coil.
