Installing Elephant Racing PolyBronze Bushings, have a question: Something doesn't look right... Options

[bfrymire]

I am in the process of installing a set of ER bushings. The instructings say and show that some alignment washers need to be installed betweend the bushing and the mount. The problem is, there is no room at all to insert the washers. Here's a pic. What is wrong?

And I know that I have the bushing installed pointing toward the camera. I just wanted to show the interference that I am seeing. This is a very snug fit...

I hope that someone can shed some light on this...

thanks

when i did mine the instructions were specific about the torquing sequence. i was told to button everything up, not to full tightness, put the wheels on, set it on the ground and shake the car. the self aligners do their thing. then you tighten up. note the position of all the grease fittings before finishing. yours look to be at 3 o'clock. i rotated mine down to be between the 4&5 position. it made it easier not having to fight support to lube them. don't forget to replace the gasket that slides over the end torsion bar and check the closing disc on the front.
