Bilstein HD Fit

Howdy,

Am replacing the shocks, no problem in the rear with the Bilsteins, but in front, even using the F4-B46-2125-H0, it seems the fit isn't right. On the lower control arm, the bracket spacing is 38 millimeters on the inside (outside of the OEM shock is 37.9mm), and the outside of the Bilsteins is just under 40mm (39.9 mm). I checked the stamped number on the Bilstein body and it matches, and I'm certainly not ready to take off the material or hammer it down if the shocks aren't right and I can just return them.

Anyone else had a problem similar, or just solved it with a hammer and file?

Thanks,
Kevin
