The new perch will work. It's straight because it isn't broken in like the
old one. When you reassemble the front suspension place a floor jack under
the spindle and carefully compress the spring without lifting the car off
the jack stands. You are using those, right? Then release the sping
compressor and install the shock. It helps to have the swaybar and strut
rods disconnected/removed so the front suspension hangs lower. This makes it
easier to install the spring. You may have to use a prybar and firmly "lean"
the perch to the right angle to install the spring. You need three hands, so
having a buddy help would be good unless you have a high degree of
dexterity. Use a quality spring compressor and always wear safety glasses
when handling a compressed spring. Treat it like a live bomb because theres
a lot of energy stored in a compressed spring.

Well I got everythng(99%) back together. Car is still on the
jackstands with one side done, but no shock in it yet, the
other(passenger) side is about done, wheel bearings have to be
repacked and shock not installed. It was getting dark and while
reassembling the bearings I mangaged to mess up the grease seal, so
have to weight till tomorow. The spring is in the tower but still
under compression. Those internal springs compressors are a pain to
work with by yourself. When you draw the tapered endlinks and ball
joints up, how tight does one normally tighten them?
