Please advices, ultra racing strut bar installed

[NewCivicRs]

Hi guys, I have installed this strut bar for few weeks and everything is good, tight and nothing moves.

But when I see the bracket, the left and right side have different gap, the right side seems has balance gap, but the left side seems has unbalance gap or seems installed not proper,
But is it okay?
Please take a look at the picture.
@gtman Hi bro, please help..

Not unusual.
Body shell variations can require this to achieve alignment settings.

You're overthinking it. It's fine. Just make sure those bolts are torqued to about 40ft/lbs.

Hi bro @gtman yes it is tight already, when I shake the strut, the car shakes too, feels so rigid.
Thanks bro

Hi bro @BoxsterSteve , I see.
No need to undo the bolt and re-adjust the strut?
Thanks, you guys relief my worries.

Undo and adjust and you’ll change alignment settings.
Leave it as is.

Excuse me, you mean wheel aligntment? If I adjust, the steering wheel will not be in centre line?

Mess around with it and let us know how it works out for you.

Agreed that you're fine and leave it alone.

I believe that @BoxterSteve meant that *IF* you undo and adjust; you're risking changing the alignment settings. Therefore; don't do it.

Nothing strange going on ... just how the camber is adjusted.
With the "crown" on paved roads (sloping from center of the road to outside edge, for water run off) it's quite common for there to be some slight variation.

Hi bro thanks for the comment.
I see, I think I will leave it.

I think if I unbolt the strut bar bolts, and adjust the strut bar, will not affect to wheel aligntment right? It is just the same as we remove the strut. But thanks bro, I appreciate it.

You're still concerned that you have an issue even after all the replies saying not to worry?

You don’t have anything to worry about that though.
