are you using the right ****, there are 2 of them, one is used to adjust the front struts, the other is used to adjust the rear struts.

I had the same problem. The sheetmetal is in the way so you cant get the **** on correctly. Since its only sheetnmetal thats not critical to the integrity of the body I just bent it enough to allow me to get the **** on. I havnet had any problems. BTW mine came with a shorter shank **** for the rears then front *****. But it still required me to bend the metal some.

they are an allen key correct? Find an allen wrench the same size and use that. It will fit for sure. .

Hahahaha same here I never noticed they weren't the same except one day I adjusted them and the next day I tried again but took the other **** and there was NO WAY it would fit I was like "WTF!?!" that's when I pulled out the other one and noticed the difference

I hammered the sheetmetal tab out of the way too
