I think Comp brake have addressed this issue but i still had to grind a 45 degree radius on the top hats to allow anything like full radius movement .
somethign else i better check then.
was going to fit the eccentric top mounts i have at some point, so will do this then.
i take it just removing the spring and a jack under the wheel to compress the damper will be ok?
