Remember that if you removed / loosened the lower control arm connecting the hub to the chassis, the control arm must be loaded (weight of car sitting on its wheels) before tightening the retaining bolts.

I'm back. I went back to the car to fix this error and I'm having a brain fart. I'm now not sure of which retaining bolts you're talking about. I removed the strut by removing the caliper, axle at the transmission only and both eccentrics to allow the assembly to swing down and forward to have the clearance to remove the strut assembly. I marked the positions on the eccentrics before disassembly and placed them back perfectly afterwards.
