Sorry you may have missed it in the original post, there are no shocks or t-bars in the car right now. Just weight and gravity. Sorry seems i didnt mention it here on fabo . No bars or shocks currently. My apologies
OK, that is a pickle......With the adjust-ability of the heims (as I have not used them, so IDK) I'd think you could thread them in and out to create or release a bind. Have you unbolted them, let the Lower Control arm drop with the strut rod installed then adjust them to fit, then work through the articulation?
