ok, If anyone has soome standard travel houser silicast a arms It would be great if you could measure the top a-arm from where it mounts on top to where the tie rod mounts on the bottom...I got some LT fronts but I think they gave me standard travel uppers and lt lowers so I cant get them aligned correctly. any help would be great!!!!!!!!!:D

Heres whats going on guys, we went to install his LT Houser a arms today and i cant get adjust them. It seems to me that Houser sent him a +2 LT Lower and a +1 upper a arm. I cant get the top of the spindle to come in far enough to get a straight wheel because i run out of adjustment. Look at the pic below, because to me it looks like the upper a arm is was to short and needs to be longer.

Something is not right there. I dont have arms to compare, but yea you ran outta adjustment. Measure the stock arms, how much longer are the housers vs the stockers? if you ordered +1 they should obviously be 1 inch longer.

Hey guys i'm his brother and have done many front end installs on 400's..i've never seen this before. Something HAS to be wrong. Here is a pic of how far out the wheel is and there is no more adjustment in the balljoint. The upper a arm cant be the correct one for the +3 bottom...

yes, We called them and they wore amazing. They simply told us to send the upper and they will replace with the correct size. No quastions asked! The service was GREAT! all should be in place shortly!
