Addco RSB, did this happen to you?

I was unable to position the bushings and u bolts around the axle close to the bends, since it was hitting the suspension arm on the passanger side everytime i went over a bump. I fixed the problem moving the bushing, and tighten it few inches away from the bend towards the middle. i was wondering if it happened to anyone?
thnx

Yup, that's the quick simple fix. Or you can do what I did and trim the brackets so they don't stick out too much.

1) Loosen the brackets on the mid section of the RSB.
2) Slide them inboard from the bends about 5 inches each.
3) Retighten the nuts to spec.
4) While you're down there, double check the other brackets are properly seated and retighten those as necessary.
5) Inspect all parts (RSB and suspension) to see if there are any unusual scrapes, scratches or rub marks.
6) Drive happy knowing you saved a few bucks over the Stillen bar.
