Cutting strut rod bushings for correct geometry?

Great info and thank you. I though I was going nuts when I replaced all my front bushings with Energy Suspension Poly's. My first clue something was not adding up was that the front nut on the drag link would not go past the hole where the roll pin was located. I though due to the bushing ES supplied. Later I noticed this gap on the LCA mount assy. After I read this thread it all made sense,,,,back to the shop...I think it would of been nice of ES to have a note on the instructions. Cheers
