Default Rear trackbar bracket issue

Trying to install it right now. Where the bracket widens up for the trackbar it's hitting the frame mount. If I get it in all the way without them hitting, the bolt holes don't line up. Whats going on?

That piece goes on the frame not the axle. Is it BDS or Teraflex?

Just a quick one, make sure you measure TF's paper guide to drill the hole in your chassis trackbar bracket. When I installed it the paper guide was almost 1/2 cm out, I hope TF since has corrected it.

If you drill the hole in the wrong place you will never get the bolt in (in the first place) and you have to ream the hole, basically giving play to your track bar.

Check the dimensions first, easy to spot......

Quadratec didn't give me instructions. Ya it was a little off but I got it in right after I was told it goes on the frame and not the axle. Glad I asked after staring at it for 5 minutes.
