Tire rub help?

[Opie Knievel]

Am I the only one who thinks his spindle is leaning in really far? Has it been aligned?

I think it looks like it's leaning back and the wheel is turned out a bit making the spindle lean in as you noticed. The upper and lower ball joint are supposed to be in the same axis.

It just looks a bit odd from that angle or something.

Dorman's pictures on the web have the gutter in back:

I would think if the arms were swapped with 27.5" tires, it would be rubbing in a straight line.

My T-type has G-body parts arms and 26" tall tires on GTA's rubs pretty good on the plastic at large angles.

I have seen pictures of a doorman upper control are for an S10/G body didn't seem to have the gutter. I don't know if they were all made them same, different Chinese factories perhaps...

I would imagine for $60 including ball joint, crossshaft and shipping, quality control is not a top priority.

There is an "R" stamped on the right side Arm above. It should be visible from the engine compartment with a flashlight, just outside of the inner fender.

Damn I just notice that thanks

Because they are made in China, I always worry if they are marked R for Reft and L for Light.

Here is pics of my drivers side OE arm. Hope they help as a reference on how they mount.

any update on this?

threads should be useful for others but are useless if the op doesn't let us know if it's fixed and the cause of the problem
