When you lifted the car and let the wheels & suspension droop, especially for any length of time, those uprights will shift, usually (maybe always?) APART from each other. Many of us find that a ratchet-strap between the uprights will bring them back together enough to get the holes to line back up.
If I've misunderstood the problem you've described, then ignore ALL of this.  |
That was exactly the problem, and thanks for your tip. The ratchet strap (and a little bit of brute force) enabled me to get the triangle reattached. Everything is put back together, and I just got back from a test drive. Car is much smoother with new tranny mounts. Thanks!
