trinitom Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 only 2 things: the bar it's bent, or the car had a crash previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Car clean as a whistle, was checked out before i purchased it and also just back from 6 months at bodyshop where they checked everything out while doing the change in color, again all clear there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinitom Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 in that case the bar must be bent for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Best try it on another car to exclude the car being the problem first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Was thinking that mate but i dont know of anyone in my county with a supra, Mark did have and his g/f had one, both n/a so i dont know if they would fit or not but they sold their cars so i have no one here to try it And yes supra's are rare over here in Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 May sound silly and obvious, but are you fitting one side then the other? Have you tried lowering both sides on at the same time? I had a similar drama with a strut brace and lowering both sides at the same time worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Is the car on a level surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think it's the bar manufacture as mine had same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 May sound silly and obvious, but are you fitting one side then the other? Have you tried lowering both sides on at the same time? I had a similar drama with a strut brace and lowering both sides at the same time worked. good idea. if its the car your have the problem the same side if you turn it around. if its the bar the problem will move sides.

Guest neo9918 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi it's my old bar, it's always taken 2 people to put it on you can't do one side then the other. Trust me it fits it's been on 2 supras previously. Give it some jiggling about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Turn it around. thats what i would do. never had a problem before with these. perhaps its got bent or your car is bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) You need to lower it down onto both sides at the same time, because the turret tops are on an angle the center line of the bolts gets further apart Edited June 9, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 will take it out of the garage in the min and find a complete level surface and try again, will keep you all updated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
