Newb Suspension Question

I notice that while change out my stock struts and springs the front knuckle would be difficult to take out the chamber bolts. Not difficult to unscrew which also was but to remove them. Once they where removed the knuckle would pop upward making it difficult to install my new stuff. For some reason seemed like there was pressure pushing the knuckle up. I haven't work on a wrx before so am not sure if this is a problem or not.

Its on a 04 wrx if anybody has any idea of what is could be would be lots of help... Thanks..

It's not bad to work it around. Tends to sag though so a jack makes it easier. Just be careful not to crush your dust shield with the jack.
