need someone to measure an A.T.S.

Hi,
I couldn't get my upper ball joints off to install my ATS control arms so I brought it to a shop. The shop told me my ATS were 3/8 of an inch too wide. I was wondering if someone could make a quick measurement and tell me how wide the ATS should be. I'd really appreciate it, Thanks!

Yea, to wide where and how?

Your shop does know that the whole idea of the arms is to relocate and set the ball joint at a different angle, right?

I'm not sure how to explain this but I'll give it a try. The shop said the ends of the arms that bolt to the frame of the Runner were too wide by 3/8 of in inch, therefore he couldn't bolt them too the frame. I think it's just B.S., but i wanted to see what the measurement should be before I I try to do it myself again. Thanks..
