Earwig 89 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here is a pic of mine from a while ago... Mine also appear raised but not to the extent of yours, although I am sure I have seen others that are sitting as high as yours. Any issues when driving ? Knocking etc ?

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I think this is pretty normal has I checked a lot of the cars at the shows and they were the same although not quite as much of a gap. My has a gap but not quite as big. Did you change the top mount bushes or use your originals??? I've replaced my old ones with some powerflex bushes and have not knocks. vdubhead 1 Link to post Share on other sites
