Compress the MacPherson strut spring slightly with the clamps until loose.
Keep them in place until everything is tightened.
Rotate the top bushing mount.
Jack up the A-arm/strut from the ball joint. It should slip into place. Use appropriate washers.
Loosen spring clamps and it will snug into place.
Do a rough toe alignment before driving to the shop.
