I can't seem to fit the bottom strut spacer on. I got the top spacer on but my a arms won't droop down far enough to fit the bottom spacer. ideas?

I had the same issue when I did mine all I did was took a long pry bar put it inbetween the upper control arm and the from and pried the whole assembly down and it all went together fine

I used a bar to force everything down to get it into place. Don't be afraid to muscle it. Everything should come together. Loosen everything up and try again.

I'm not sure what you mean by it not fitting. It worked fine on mine. It depends on what doesn't fit as to what you need to do. If it's too low you may need to get taller mounting rings

I had the same problem, we sent ours back! If I remember correctly some parts were missing also or did not fit correctly. We tried to get the instructions on line with no luck, sorry I could not help.

There is a walk through on what needs to be done at www.vwvortex.com in the sportwagen forum. Just search for travall and it should pop up. I believe it just requires trimming the legs slightly but it will fit with small modification.

you will have to compress the spring to switch out the strut. Very simple...Go to Autozone and get a spring compresser. They will rent it to you for as long as you need. Hopefully your spring is in good shape and you can just reuse it. Remember to pump the strut a couple of time before assembly.

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

I bought 2 struts. you need to replace both strurs at the same time. Replacing them was easy.

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

That's odd. Mine comes off almost too easily! I just lift it off the top. Sounds like you got a fit that's not within specs!

when I installed mines it ended up to be about 9 1/2 to 10 feet I used a in ground sleeve now that is up your only choice is . to reset it if possible or just leave it did u install the adjustment arm correctly look over evening again closely

I Had a similar problem. The chain guard wouldn't let me mount the motor low enough to attach It to the bottom rail. I bought a new bracket from kingsmotorbike.com . They have just about any part you would ever need. You could possibly get a longer bolt from home depot . You may have to get creative . Goodluck

There should be no extra room. Check the threads. Might need a new bolt or wing nut.

you need to measure your frame..outside to outside...you may have to flip the end brackets around and bolt from inside frame???hope this helps

The rear spacers just sit on top of the coil spring, under the bump stop/isolator. The front goes on top of the strut. It fits over the strut mount studs, and the kit comes with extenders so the studs will be long enough.

I think the previous answers pretty much sum it up. I had a problem with it also. The top of the mounting bracket kept coming off with the upward pressure, but with persistence, and holding the top of the mounting bracket, upward pressure and a twist will do it. I think it's a bad design but it will fit.

Hi, mine seems to fit on pretty easily. Try turning it a half turn it sits in place but really doesnt snap on.
