Lower Strut Brace

Recommended Posts

aCe

Just fitted my lower OMP strut brace and it hitting on the lower engine mount casing.

 

The casing is the one that the lower bushed is pressed into and secures the O/S drive shaft. I have had a check and all the mounts show no signs of perishing etc, i have just polybushed it all but dont think that would change any thing?.

 

Any other suggestions? I have had one of these before and didnt have this problem

 

HELP

Have you fitted it upside down? This is the only way I can think of it hitting the lower engine mount, it is cranked downwards and forwards to clear it.

I must admit I have yet to fit mine as it appears that I won't have the space to get a ratchet in to bolt it all up, have to get it on a ramp and have a proper go. Do these lower mounts actually help?
