Hey all,
I recently installed my upper and lower torque box kit in my 91 lx. I followed directions to the T and when I went to reinstall my stock upper control arms, there was a clearance issue with the bolts coming thru the upper torque box. Is it possible I installed them wrong somehow and if so is this fixable? Because I ordered new upper control arms and don't want to do any cutting like I did with the stock ones to fit. Please help!!

Had a similar issue with the end of the bolt hitting. Seems like i flipped the bolt around and put the head on the bottom to solve the problem.

No issues with my install, they fit just right. Hope you figure it out.

That's what I was thinking might work but will the spacer still fit properly that way?

I can't think why it would not.

Last time I did the boxes, I did the threads facing up into the car. Thought I had a pic somewhere, but I couldn't find it in the archive.

much easier to put the bolt up through the bottom of the car into the passenger compartment than vice versa. It will also help with interference issues.
