Default 1993 Honda Accord Damper Fork Installation

Hello Everyone,

Recently I pulled my stock f22 out. I plan to install an H22A very soon. But for now, I'm stuck on re-installing my damper forks. So the car can be a rolling shell (For transportation) Question is, How the heck do I do it?

I put the fork onto the strut (Lower ball joint and tie rod are off) and the bottom bolt does not line up. I've tried standing on the control arm to bring it down to line up, but when I think I have it lined up its a hair off. Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry if people here think this is a silly question. But I really have tried everything to get this bugger in.

i've heard you can move a car so you can push it up on the tow truck without the axles but I've never done it, supposedly you just make sure the entire suspension is together, so put the ball joint and tie rod back on

sometimes to get it to line up you gotta put a jack under the suspension and raise it up to get it to line up
