Hub/Damper WTF?

My hub nut hits damper when I brake.
What's going, what am I missing?
EDIT: I've put on new dampers in case there's some fault with them. :/

Are you using bottom damper brackets or proper links with studs?

The bush was ok. It came off when I was taking it off the stud.
Shocky, it seems straight. I do have a squint and my good eye is glass eye.

I'm sure we noticed that Timbo had the same problem in France and it was down to oversized hub nuts. Forget what was done about it. Ah, on reflection it may have been the nut on his front inboard disc brake stud.

That's ok Martin.
Cheers anyway. Maybe try stiffer springs.
