Hey everyone,
I have a issue that may be so simple that this question is deemed idiotic but never the less I need some help from y’all, I installed front UMI upper and lower tubular control arms, with Viking coil overs, a 2” drop spindle, and the standard slotted disc brake upgrade from inline tube on my 87 442. I also replaced all the ball joints, torsion bar, idler arms etc. The car is still under restoration and currently has no engine for front clip. I have not torqued any of the ball joints, and left them finger tight as I assumed that once the engine is in that’s when I should get everything torqued down. The control arms were tightened down and torqued. The issue I am seeing is the inside tire is now rubbing against the front side of the upper control arm when in full steering lock. Has anybody had this problem? Could it be because the front end components are not tightened and aligned yet or could it be my wheel? I am running stock 15x7’s.
Thanks
