Having trouble fitting the IRS back in after installing this cover. The cover is contacting the subframe. Could it be because of aftermarket MM bushings?

Suggestions welcome from anyone who ran into this initially and found a solution.

Installer is going to take some pics and I'll post up.

He got the tru trac, gears (lash is perfect), and rebuild kit in fine but ran into a snag with the cover allowing the whole assembly to fit back in.

Bushings were installed by previous owner and as far as I know it is the MM rear bushing kit and I have race springs in as well which I doubt is the issue.

I ran into a similar problem installing the LPW cover and FTB bushings. I nearly flipped out when this happened. But after looking at it for a while as yelling a few curse words I realized I had installed the read diff bracket upside down not allowing the front of the diff to line up with the subrame holes. Flipped it over and it fit right in.
