Umi Panhard Relocation Kit Issue
Umi Panhard Relocation Kit Issue Ok, So I just got done putting this thing on. Was doing a final once-over to make sure everything was in the proper place/torque/etc. Noticed this:
That's the top bolt sitting on my spring. So, yeah. Anybody have any ideas as to what's going on here? Pretty sure I followed the directions down to the letter.

Hmm, I just checked our house car (2000 WS6) and I have 3/4" between the thread end and the spring - the exact same orientation as yours.
Can you put a washer under the bolt head? Or, turn the bolts around? It looks like there's plenty of room to turn the bolts around.

I'll probably have to put a washer on it. don't think i can get the torque wrench to fit between it and the spring. might just dremel off a 1/4 inch or so. I am curious though why this happened. never seen anybody else have an issue. makes me think something is very bent on my car (secretly hoping i got sent the wrong bolt 
).

cool. this is all making me feel better. I had assumed since the instructions indicated which way the bolt should go for the lower panhard bar, all three had to go the same way as the installation pictures.

I would turn the bolt around.
That way there is not chance of messing up the threads on the end.
Making it a pain to remove if you ever have to.
Just how I would do it.
Adding a washer would be ok too, just as long as you keep enough threads coming through the locking nut.
Use a new nyloc nut too for extra protection.
