David, I think I see what your problem is. Ian uses shocks with spherical bearings in the ends rather than nolathane bushes. The spherical bearing is only about 12-15mm wide. The sides of the upper mounts are wide enough apart to allow the sherical bearing to be adjusted back and forth along the pivot bolt to get it in the right alignment. I've machined up aluminium spacers for my upper and lower mounts to offset the shock to best clear the upper arm.

There is also a front half and back half to the Jag upper arms. There is a bit of positive castor built into the arms. It's quite obvious on mine but may not be so easy to see on yours.

Hope this helps.

I didn't get out to the shed today, most of the day was spent cleaning up the gardens. Got to build up some brownie points.

Cheers
