Hi Guys,
I'm putting the Ali arms on my XT and the rear mount/ALK looks to be different, like I need more parts or a different ALK.
I can't be the only one to have done it so figured I'd ask for help.
I have the whiteline ALK KCA361 which I've had for a year and it works well, fitted perfect but didn't make difference to the geometry.

This is the ALK I have in the car, with stock control arms removed, view of the Front:
This is the stock control arm, the flange mates to the Front surface of the ALK, above:
As you can see the wide metal flange on the arm presses against the wide yellow bush, and mates nicely.
The Spec C control arms have a narrow flange in that area, which touches the Front of the ALK, so won't touch 90% of the yellow bush, they look like this:
The Spec C arms came with a big washer but it does'nt suit the ALK I have.
The Rear surface of the ALK, I can just re-use the big washer I have already, which looks like this (on the left):
So, the question is, how do I get this:
To mate with this:
Do I need a new ALK? Which one/model number?
Thanks,
Steve
