Default Strut clearance

Have been unable to remove a strut because the “axle carrier” or knuckle will not lower enough to allow for enough clearance to remove.



The bottom of strut is almost touching the axle boot. This doesn’t allow to find position to be able to bring out of the wheel well.



The car is a 2008 Lexus rx 350 AWD



The car is being held up by Jack on “rear suspension crossmember” could this not allow knuckle to lower enough?



Does anyone have advice?



I would be greateful for any advice

There are few videos on youtube showing how to replace shocks on RX350

See if this one helps:
