simple!

Yes, that is how mine ended up going in. I had to take the mount back out of the carrier, attach the carrier loosly & thread the mount into the guide rod. A little tightening on what is normally caster adjustment lined everything up. Then I finished tightening the carrier to the body. Channel locks straightened the carrier in the mount so it would pull in.

One of the problems of DIY is the next time will be easier. There likely won't be a next time for a while - unless I find a really good deal on a car that needs it.
