Mine wont sit flush with the metal, making it so I cant screw them in.

I'll try to get some pics up. It's a TRD one ordered from 1sttoyotaparts

just got here today. I kinda thought it seemed like the screws were pointing kinda funny, so more than likely that is the culprit. I just wasnt sure how much support there was with the car on jacks and the bolts not fastened.

Come to think of it though, it would seem rather silly to have the struts held on only by a couple of screws.

Ok, first is not a TRD is just a Toyota OEM rear strut bar, and to make it fit just flip ip over, the way it looks that it goes is not the right way , you'll see what I mean when you try it. most likely that's what's happening.

if that's not the issue then you may need to jack up the car a little, not too much to get the wheels of the ground, you want your wheels to be still on contact with the floor, reason being that you don't have the nuts holding the strut assembly in place.
