I recently replaced my front lower control arms, but once I was done I noticed that the driver side tire was rubbing on the spindle knuckle every time I turned. Also noticed that the tires are both really close to rubbing on the knuckle, there is about less than half a mm between tires and knuckles. Is this normal? I never payed attention to this until after replacing the control arms and started feeling the rubbing from the tire.

Hi Rudy,

Send me the part number of the control arms that you put on and where you got them from. Then also, can you send me the last eight of the VIN?

I just want to make sure we got correct parts. Then can you send me a picture of what you are referring too? Then I will try to find a comparable vehicle and send you back a picture of that car from the same angle so you we can see if yours has an issue. Thanks
