Yeah I have a different Ford with McPherson front struts and the three top bolts are almost impossible to get to. Those trick nuts self-start even if you can barely get them in there.

Had to think on this some to get my mind around the difference. Consider the difference between adding a 1/2 inch top mount spacer between strut and chassis versus adding a 1/2 inch spacer between perch and spring. So here's what I came up with. At normal ride height, both increase the strut...
