Hi Clive, as stated in the phone call the spacer is on the right way which was your question, when you actually come to fit it it will make sense and become very apparent which way it all fits together, like I said If you find your having issues when fitting this then just give us a call and we can explain.
If your still not confident with fitting then we suggest you contact your local garage and arrange for them to fit these for you

Regards
Paul

Hi Clive,

The thread on DW was a scenario where the customer had taken his car to a garage to have these aligned and the garage had not done so correctly. This is the only problem I have ever had reported to me by one of our customers, the only other failure we have had was on our own drift car which was caused by not being tight enough and also trying to push the boundaries with adjustment.

If your more than capable of fitting these yourself then you should be fine only reason I suggested taking it to a local garage was if you didn't have any mechanical knowledge.
I hope you didn't find my previous post offensive.
As I said on our conversation if you wish to call us when your fitting these we will be happy to talk you through it.

regards
Paul
