After install (5.56 bolt gun), I noticed the crush washer seated more on one side of the comp base than the other, visible but not terrible. Problem?

As long as it fits tight and the barrel bore and holes line up you shouldn't have any problems. You can look through the upper receiver down the barrel to see if any part of the compensator lies in the bullet path. Hope this helps.

Not sure. The good news is that you can get a replacement crush washer at your local favorite hardware store and try a second time. My local gunsmith charge me $10 to put mine on. He had some great tools to keep your barrel from spinning and messing up the gas rod. Its an easy job to change out, I know. However after a friend messed is gas rod up I decided for $10 why take that chance.

Not a problem. If it is tight. The small end of the crush washer goes towards the barrel.

wont hurt a thing . is it bothers you loosen the comp and retighten holding the washer to center it up. make sure tapered end is pointing toward the rear of the rifle.

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

redo it again, start off at a different position when you start to screw it on, it should fit exactly on there. are you using the crusher nut too? there are a few youtube vids on it too broski

The Grohe website has excellent expanded drawings......without a pic of the part, I can only guess for you...Check out the expanded view, and it should help...I do know these things are very easy to install....just not sure exactly which washer you have... hope this helps...

Not sure. Which washers? The ones between the nut and the hood? Not really, but could result in cracking paint under nut.

I had the same problem. I thought the screw was too long. But my husband figured it out. If you look at the washer very closely you will see that it is slightly "domed". Make sure to put the rounded or domed side facing up, followed by the nut. That worked for me.

i use new crush washers and turn tight until heavy tension is felt, then line upper vents to top. most flash hiders are 'clocked'. meaning with crush washer 'open' end to flash hider, they will line up when fully tight. do not (do not) use any kind of thread locking compound. this method is reffered to in the book ,'gunsmithing the ar-15' by patrick sweeney. the washer is included with device. if you don't have the upper 'block device' for your vice be very very careful. good luck

Tighten a little more and make sure the crush washer is crushed or remove and try again but when comes off remember where the logo is and add a 1/4 turn before starting over

I don't see this being a problem at all while the washer is in use. However, it looks like hanging the hose from the handle while the engine was hot could cause it to make contact with the hot exhaust manifold.

Hi, B.Y. Mauldin,I had the a similar problem. I don't believe that machine is "tuned up" or it might have gotten off alignment during delivery. I have added washers where the flywheel is attached. With the intent to straighten out the eye-bolts that hold it down. This helped a little. I also replaced one of the eye-bolts with a thicker one. I just went to the hardware store to select one that had a similar hole and bolt length. Always keep the machine stable and when you tighten the bolts holding the flywheel, makes sure it's aligned/straight with the frame. I will actually be adding rubber washers next week to mine. Hoping to damper a bit of the vibration that goes into the floor. Hope this helps! Hi, B.Y. Mauldin,I had the a similar problem.

P + O + P Washers first, than column and metal washer with screw. I think you are mistaken keeping washers after column.

Bolts with nuts and washers are more secure than lag bolts (screwed in). This means that you have to have access to the upper side of the beam. If this is not possible, then perhaps this could be accomplished by boring a large hole through the side of the beam, the nut could be fed in (like Ikea furniture) and the bolt screwed into the nut.

I just had the same problem, but switching the washer to domed side up helped. It may seem like the screw has gone as far as possible but with some muscle it should screw in tightly. A ratchet-type screwdriver was very helpful in properly tightening the screw while holding the nut with pliers with my other hand.

There is about a half-inch of overlap on the side of the washer, you can't really see it from the front. So unless the side of your washer is heavily exposed that shouldn't pose a problem.

I have had no problems with my front end. After installing the Quick lift, I brought the truck to Sears and my alignment was spot on. I enjoy the height and I am currently looking for blocks and shocks for the rear end to bring back the factory rake.

You placed the washers correctly. I remember having to get a wrench out and really tighten it down.

Yes, It fit mine just right. Use a new crush washer and make sure the small port holes are facing straight up. Do not be afraid to put some torque on it. I used painters tape wrapped around the brake as not to mare it with the wrench when tightening.

The left one for my truck was 1/3 turn off the bolts on top are not the same spacing, fought for about 2 hours before I figured that out.Hope that helps
