I started replacing the dogbones and the brackets on mt '98 GT today, and I have a couple of questions. I started with the passenger side setup.

(1) This doesn't appear to be a 1-person job. It looks like I'm going to have to have someone help me by rotating the engine forward slightly in order to replace the bolt where the torque strut (dogbone) attaches to the engine. Is this typical?

(2) I marked the location of the old radiator bracket before I took it off. It was a factory installed original, and it appears things were slightly off, because the dogbone was at a very slight angle. When reinstalling the new hardware, should the dogbone be perpendicular to the engine? If so, I'll have to ignore the markings I made for the original bracket location.

Thanks in advance.
