Default front lower control arm

so I just had all my bushings replaced with hardrace bushings along with the compliance bushing. Now when i'm trying to install it the bolts don't line up when its attached to the LCA but they do line up when its off, what is the order I should install the LCA, should i bolt in the compliance bushing then put the bolt in for LCA its self (the one that attached to the subframe) this is for a 95 civic hatchback

You won't be able to reach the compliance bushing bolt to tighten it if you put it on the subframe before you attach it to the LCA. This is the order I remember using:

-Assemble the LCA and compliance bushing
-Mount the inner LCA bolt to the subframe
-Mount the compliance bushing to the subframe
-Mount the outer end of the LCA to the knucke
-Connect the shock fork to the LCA

Make sure you install the compliance bushing correctly with the washers in the correct position and orientation and the compliance bushing correctly oriented.
