DV: you are correct in that assumption, I recognized that heim (thanks for knowing what to call it, to me way too many things are frakemizers, and thing a migs) would need some spacers on each side to keep it from moving back and forth and to allow the U bracket to be tight. I was going to cut some pipe spacers that would have accompolished this. Now I will make a spacer for the u bracket, then use a longer bolt, then install a couple small washers to allow the heim to pivot as needed. Once car is sitting on wheels with motor in I may, if needed make a new u bracket that will span across both those bolts holding down the strut rod if it appears the heim is too far away from the u bracket and would put too much torque on the u bracket.

Again, thanks for checking in on me.

I will get some pictures posted, maybe even with it fabed up now and a little mock up of how it will be when finished, this way we can possibly forsee design problems. If under the weight of vehicle the lower arm is close to parrellel to the ground then I know it will be fine, just do not remember how it was sitting prior to disassembly. I do not think I have any pictures of it prior to disassembly.
