Best bet is to try and get a photo of where its not clearing (if possible).

I I know i might get shot down for this but when i fitted my front ARB today i managed to get a suprisingly long way into installing it when i realised it was the wrong way round!!

Not sure if fitting it is possible fully incorrectly like that but seeing as you've had no replies yet i thought i'd share my experiance in case it helps? .....but a photo is best with the quality guys in here with a lot more knowledge on import Scoobs than me.

Fitted upside down mate.

They can be fitted either way up and if it rubs the steering arms then it needs to come off asap and rotated.

I bought one from Powerstation a couple of years ago and when I went to fit it I realised that it could be fitted 2 ways.
I rang Powerstation and they advised me that if it was fitted the wrong way up then it would cause rubbing as stated earlier.

They said the correct way is with the word 'whiteline' the correct way up.
