[Shotimes] Axle replacement progress?

[Carl Prochilo]

I'm sure you can get enough play if you loosen the 3 nuts on top of the
strut tower, and it would also help to have the plate welds broken.  As
for the alignment, again I suggest marking the plate on the strut tower
and this way you don't have to worry.  I've seen this done before when I
had my tranny seals replaced.  There's more than one way to skin a cat.
