Step 18: Reattach the drop link balljoint to the strut:
Jack up the wheel hub again so that the strut drop link bracket hole is level with the drop link top balljoint bolt.
Reattach the drop link balljoint to the strut, and fully tighten the balljoint nut. If you've only taken off the balljoint nut (and not the whole droplink), I would suggest installing a new nut.
Lower and remove the jack from under the wheel hub.
