Torque Strut adjustment
Hey guys, I just replaced my motor mounts and torque struts yesterday, and I can't for the life of me get the motor to turn enough to get the 4.7in measurement on the upper torque strut. I tried a floor jack but it stops turning the motor and starts lifting up on it... Any tips to get the motor to the right adjustment? Thanks.

Did you mark the motor mount before you replaced it? That has to be aligned too. If the motor mount is aligned properly, there shouldn't be any reason you can't get the measurement unless you are measuring to and from the wrong spots. I don't think the motor mount not even being aligned could cause it not to be able to align.

my book says measure to the center of the hole on the shock tower bracket. where I have it in the first pic. but when I swapped them out it fit in without any adjustments. the picture in the Haynes shows 7 plus inches and it says measure to a different location than you posted. Im not trying to argue with you, just indicating that my repair manual is different or wrong?

here is the picture in my haynes manual. it shows a different spot to measure from. (where I measured from in the first pic) its hard to see but the ruler right end is 12 and the left mark is just past 6. so that is actually 6 inches not even the 7 I said before.
