I think there is a little more in it than that,

a mate did it on his and also had to move the stop for the catch or it throws too far when you close it,

The extented arm also used to break occasionally due to the extra stress on it

when i brought my bus the previous owner tryed to flare the rear passengers guard with a freakin ball hammer and after i brought it i stood there and clled him and idiot for like 10mins it doesnt hit the sliding door but because it was done so poorly it looks crap........ill fix it when i go to paint it but for now it adds to the rat factor :bounce

Why not narrow the rear axles? You should be ablt to get 20mm without having clearance probs!

N!
