Hello,

I am installing Koni FSD struts/shocks and Eibach pro kit springs on an otherwise stock 2007 mazda 3.

I have the first strut fully seated in the lower control arm. The problem is that the tang on the strut that slips into the gap on the control arm seems to be off by about 1/8 inch so the bolt can't go in to tighten the control arm around the base of the strut.

Anyone have any ideas or run into this before? The tang is visibly off compared to the factory strut.

Thanks,
Scott
