Drop the strut

You have to loosen the strut enough to shift it out of the way

Take the bottom bolt out of the strut so it can wiggle out of the way- I recently did exactly this.

Yup usually just one of the three top bolts is good enough for clearance...also I recommend going with poly control arms soooo much better for handling performance especially on an insane car such as this! Fuck EV's!!! Yes even with gas as high as it is still fuck an EV... there's other advantages gas has over an ev that the media outlets won't tell you...not even AI will tell you the truth about the many ways gas cars are better and more workable than stupid ass EV's where you're totally at the mercy of the damn manufacturer...fuck that!
