'90 Maxima strut install issue

[jefftrexler]

Hey there folks. I havn't posted in quite awhile (since my old Q45 days), but I'm in need of some assistance.I'm replacing my front struts on my '90 Maxima SE and I've run into a bit of a snag. My steering knuckle decided to face downwards on me and now I can't get it back to a straight position. I've got the new strut assembly fastened at the top and the very bottom bolt. However, because the knuckle is pointing downwards, I can't install the top-most lower bolt. Here is a pic of whats goin on.



Any assistance with this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Jack it up while pushing in on it and it should line up, if it doesn't check see if the axle popped out the tansmission.
