Poly Body Bushings Question

[Phatman]

Has anyone had any problems with their bumpers aligning after installing these?

I don't seem to have a problem on the rear but the front now makes contact with the fillers, or should I say an excessive amount of contact.

The only other changes that were made up front were to replace the core support, but I don't see as one has anything to do with the other. The car is still up on stands, is there a chance this could effect things?

Just adjust them up...there's like an 1 1/2 of up and down adjustment.

The polys have probably just raised the body a touch

Yep!!!!

I've used every bit of it, just seems strange.
They did indeed raise the body, just looking at the ware marks in the weel well area it looks to be close to 1/2 to 5/8"....

I can't remember what it fit like prior to, I know it didn't hit, but I don't remember how much of the adjustment was in taken up.

I guess that's the problem with these long term jobs...

WOW...You sure you got the bushings seated. They have the smaller section that fits into the whole. If one (or some) of those didn't get seated it would cause the body to sit unusually high.

Yep...

I got them seated twice, I took it back apart again after the first go round.

I've got to get back in there again to do some other mod's, I think I'll try it again when it's sitting on all fours and see if it changes anything.

I did spend quite a bit of time playing with it though. The only other thing I can think of is maybe when I installed the aluminum core support the mounting hights were different. I know there is a few differences but I don't think they should effect me in this case.
