Lower wishbone hits the rim installed tyre tie rod end hits tyre that was at 1200 last night.had to go to my bolts and finds some washers so that i could space the wheel out enough to get the trye to spin freely enough to put the car on the trailer.Went to canberra to drop off ute to get front glass re installed local guy couldnt get it right will pick up monday night.Then i have to get the extractors modified on tuesday so they sit up higher Car sits really low now 100mm lower then standard.
