[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1343550, member: 18388"] I think this is the most likely answer, although squeezing too much with the lower mount bolt may contribute somewhat. See pic of the clevis on my RaceTech, much better design. A quick look of the OEM Gen3 clevis shows it is perhaps slightly better than the Penske. So, solution at least to the lower bolt.... the clevis opening is ~1.18 on the RaceTech and the pivot spacer is slightly shorter, not a slide fit but a wee bit of clearance (probably about .005" or so). If you measure the front pivot spacer, it is 1.2". I'd propose using one of those as it is longer, it will fit in the large clevis hole and prevent any squishing of the clevis. There should be enough threads on the bolt to engage the lock features of the nut. Either that or, just install the normal parts and only snug up the locking nut on the mounting bolt. It is not going to solve the lack of radius on the clevis ride height adjuster........ [IMG]https://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff366/RaYzerman/P1030449%20Medium_zpsbuitqunu.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
