    hey everyone. Need some input.

    I’ve been dealing with a shop locally who I’ve had nothing but issues with on my bilstein install. One of the issues I’m having is my drivers side is about a half inch lower then passenger side causing me to rub in full crank reverse. I don’t think they installed my top plate but I can’t tell. My top plate is black so maybe I’m missing it. But what do you guys think. First photo is drivers side. Second is passenger.

    Hard to tell but it looks like they put the spacer on. Taco lean is normal
     
    Thuguon2.7 and JMY24 like this.

    Does that spacer look kinda small? Like width wise. I thought it was the same width as the rubber gromet or whatever that’s technically called. And I haven’t had any rub until a new shop (a thousand times better) foxes the caster and camber that the previous shop screwed up. I was pulling so hard to the right it was unreal. But now I have this rub that I didn’t have before. And only on drivers side. As well as the lean which I didn’t have before

    There is no 1/4 inch spacer in there you can tell by the amount of threads showing in the circled areas. If there was a spacer you would have less threads showing.

    Yea that’s what I originally thought too. But I’m curious primarily Bc there is some space there compared to passenger.

    Yeah no spacer...if there were it would be located where the arrow is....Since a spacer sits on top of the three bolts that hold the coilover to the spring perch.
