Anti lift/castor kit

[Red Hot]

I've fitted one of these this weekend.
But when tightening everything, it appears that you can move the new Whiteline mount left and right.
How should they be positioned?

Which part can you move? Is it the rear bracket that holds the lower arm?

is there a how2 fit guide for these anywhere?

The saddle is adjustable:


So the complete arm can move like this.

Is the bracket actually moving? Can you move it by hand? If so, tighten the nuts up more. Don't overtighten them, last thing you want is one shearing off!

If there is only a knocking sound coming from underneath the car, it's the lower arms catching the anti-roll bar. Mine does that, so I need to get a Whiteline ARB as that has greater clearance.

EDIT:- Pic to show the clearance (Or lack of!)

Yea, when you tighten them enough, they don't move anymore, but if it's not in the right spot, the front bush on the lower arm will have excessive wear...
It doesn't look like a problem, but just want to know what you guys think.

Get them in the right spot then tighten them. I used one arm to force the lower arm across, then the other to do the nut up and hold it in place, then tighten all of the bolts.

How so? Pics please...
