I recently got a set of Q Towers for my subaru impreza sti 4 door. I measured everything exactly but am still having some issues putting them on? For starters - it feels like i am cranking them all the way down (evenly mind you) and they still have a little left to right wiggle when i use a lot of pressure. Is this normal? Or should they be completely solid? Also, when i do this the locks won't lock all the way? They are fine when everything isn't tensioned - but once it is they don't turn all the way. Any ideas?? Am i crazy??

This may seem like a stupid question - but do you have the crossbar running between them or are you setting them up first and planning on putting the crossbar through next? If you don't have the bar in there you'll just be able to crank way down on them. If you do, and you're still cranking way down, trying moving the towers a little further in (toward the middle of the car) on the crossbar and locking them in place there. Good luck.
