Front shocks rubbing on MY

Post by Cam » Mon Oct 22, 2007 2:57 pm

Just put a 3 inch lift in the brumby and when back on the ground noticed that the spring retainer (not sure what it called just the plate which holds the top of the spring...) at the top was jammed against the back of the tower where there's a bulge for the brake booster on both sides so that the wheels couldn't turn, not sure what i've done wrong here as the strut lift blocks are in the right way and everything else seems to be ok...
