Hi, guys i need advice please. Today I was lowering rear beam and i am not able to match same height on both sides because of this (PICTURES)... While it s on one side on hole on the other is not. And when I tighten bolts up it results in differents heights. I spent all afternoon doing this a now i don t know if am just stupid or there is some kind of problem. Thanks for any help!

Please use some axle stands,the end plate spines are not aligned,take it out and fit in the same position of the driver side.

Nice tree trunks, but yeah be careful don't want a car on you! how are you measuring the height of the beam by the way ? my guess is someone has had the anti roll bar end plate off before and not put it back straight

I will spent i little money on axle stands. :)

anyway, problem solved, but there is another.. I am not able to fit 2 washers back in. One one every side. I double check if the bars are fitted properly and they are. Don t really know what to do..

Should have taken note of the old washers position,they should go back in the same way as before they came off if I'm not mistaken.

I thought that they are all the same...

They are all the same but they go back in different positions on each side,which side exactly are you having problems with? I could take some pictures for you on how mine sits if that's any help.
