    This bolt was the biggest pain in the rear to get back in. Anybody have any tips for the other side on how to get this bolt back in easily? Putting in 2 1/2 in spacers.

    Are you replacing the struts? Those bushings are shot. Mark where your cam adjusters are so you can get it back close for your drive to the alignment shop and loosen the lower control arm bolts. Then you will be able to freely move the LCA down to put it in. Its much easier than fighting it in with a pry bar.
