is the orientation of both the wishbones the same on your cars? the yellow lower one can be inserted both ways IIRC?

HTH.

John, yes mine are as your picture - you are correct that the arm could be put around the wrong way, but it should pretty obvious that's the wrong orientation, as it sets the coilover on a slant (top pointing rearwards). When I last discussed this with Jerry, he said his spring hit the front arms when the car was on axle stands, and that he hadn't put it on the wheels.

In my view there should not be a clash at any point in the travel, as going over dips and dives should see the full (or at least a lot of the) travel used.

Cheers,

John.
