Tanabe under brace for 2009 xb

Does anyone know if the under brace goes on only one way? Not sure if mine was put on upside down. A shop installed it for me. It sits pretty low to the ground and I scraped the hell out of it going over a speed bump last night. It looks if it was installed the other way in might sit closer to the body and have a little more ground clearance. Oh yeah the car is lowered on df210.

Your thread has been moved to the correct forum.

The first Gen xB's had the same problem with the after market frame braces. We just ground down the cups and it made it a little better.
