I don't recall any positioning on the bottom a-arms, I will look
tonight. But, I think that there is a good possibility that the spring is
not completely inside of the groove cut out for the spring in the rubber
isolater on top. I really did not thing that the CAT version was thicker
than the stock ones when I put them side to side. But, I can see how the
groove may be a tight fit. I hear that there is a Ford rubber isolater
that will fit and is thinner than stock.

he has heard that the CAT version will raise the car slightly. So there
you have it. I think that every time I have tried to buy something from
other than Sunbeam Specialties, I have not been happy.
