anyone with a MAC torque arm had problems with the bolts grinding into the driveshaft

well, it appears that my newly installed torque arm with driveshaft safety loop has a bolt that connects the loop to the arm that extends too far into the area where the driveshaft comes through and is rubbing directly against each other.

I'm assuming, that since this part was made as an direct replacement, it should be doing that. Anyone else had this problem? Suggestions? I am having the machine shop look into grinding the nut and/or bolt down to allow clearance. Suggestions? the car is a 99 TA, auto.

I'm not familiar with that TA, but I presume getting a shorter bolt, or maybe using a jam nut instead of a normal one, is not possible?

Hope you caught it before you lathed your DS...
