Played with my front struts now car pulls to the right

Hey guys today i pulled my driver side strut out and took the spring off.I had a buddy that was going to sell me some intrax springs.He backed out of the sale after i had this strut apart.I put all the original parts back in the car and now it pulls to the right. I dont think one of the bottom bolts is the correct bolt It seems smaller. Any ideas?

What year is your Camry?
88 and 87 have camber cams in the strut to steering knuckle/hub joint; if it gets out of place (turns) it will chane camber and car will pull.

Im sorry i forgot that detail.It is a 1991 3sfe with a 5speed. It seems one of the bolts that hook to the steering knuckle is out of place.One bolt is smaller in diamater and longer then the other. Before i took this strut off i didnt have any problums with the alignment.

Have you done a wheel alignment? Whenever you play with your suspension or steering, you should get an alignment.

My Camry is the same in regards to that smaller bolt holding the strut assembly to the steering knuckle. Off topic, but i changed my (rear)springs and struts yesterday only to find that the new shocks i put in the front have blown :@
