Upper Link wont fit

[JT_MONEY_2004]

This is my second attempt to install passenger side upper link and i still can get the bolt through. First Upper link seemed to be slightly damaged so i returned for another and this one won't line up either. Anybody run into this? Driver's side installed easily. Could that Arm that the link bolt to be bent? What's that called? I tried lowering car on jack and tilting steering wheel various directions already.Would appreciate any tips so i can retry tomorrow. If not will take into to shop. Thanks anyway.

Presume you haven't confused R with L?

Can you see an obvious difference between the one you removed and the new one? I'd hazard a guess that something is mis-aligned on that side from a prior road hazard/curb hit/accident issue.

How far off line? Can you insert a drift pin (screwdriver works OK too) to pull the holes into alighment
