Question for those that have Diamond Racing a-arms

[criminalpoet]

On the lower a-arms, where the mounting bolts go, is there supposed to be a metal collar inside of the plastic tunnel for the mounting bolts to go through? I had bought some Diamond Racing a-arms off of e-bay and I was just installing them today when I noticed that on the lower arms, in the bolt holes, there were no little metal collar inside of the plastic like on the stock a-arms. Is there supposed to be?

Also, the arms that I got are the ones with the tube shock mounts and I noticed that the lower a-arm shock mount was not wide enough to accept the stock shock. So I had to grind just a little bit of material off of the lower part of the shock for it to fit the lower a-arm shock mount. Is this normal with this design?

are you talking where the ball join goes in or were the bolt goes threw that holds the a-arms on?

Where the mounting hardware holds them onto the frame. I already talked to Jim at Diamond though, he said just use my collars off of the stockers.
