Problem raising lowered car
so when I bought my 2003 Civic ex it had been lowered and front and back cambered out (nothing crazy but noticeably ).
I bought new stock ride height struts (front and rear) today I took the old ones out and tried to fit the new ones but the strut seemed too long for me to secure the bottom bolt . I tried to remove the upper control arm but even if it would have went back in I wouldn't have been able to re connect the upper control arm . At a loss any suggestions ?

It can be a fight to get everything lined back up. I remember having to use a big pry bar to get the knuckle lined up with the mounting holes for the strut.
