do you fit a washer eather side of the spacer and where does the washers go to get it straight

[shpub]

Yes it does vary. The aim is to get the droplinks as vertical as possible so that the rose joints do not lock out. The washers are there to act as spacers to move the drop link away from the ARB to ensure that the rose joints do not lock out when the ARB moves. As it says in the instructions, try fitting the drop links on the other side of the ARB and/or mounting plate.

When fitting it is essential to have both wheels off the ground so that the ARB is not under any tension.

When fitting mine, had a friend behind the car to tell me whether or not they were straight or not. Useful having a second pair of eyes..

If I remember correctly I used quite a few washers to align one of them, so one quick call to check and was told that it was not out of the ordinary and the only important thing is how straight it is.

Been on over a year and no probs yet
