Hello all, I just installed the new fatman fab g-force drop spindle on my 71 chevelle. I also put a set of Baer 4 wheel discs and 17" tires with 255/45/R17 tires. I replaced the upper control arm with the fatman one but left the lower control arm and springs alone. The springs are about 7 years old. I also put on a set of QA1 shocks.
I now have serious tire rub on most dips and such. It seems to be rubbing on the outside of the tire and the inner fender like its mounted out too far. I had the alignment shop set it at the specs that fatman gave me. I though they were +.5 camber but not sure. I tried pounding the inner fender back a bit, but it seems to be rubbing on the edge.
Does anyone have any recommendations on correcting this. I love the ride, except for the bumpsteer, and love the stance. But the tire rub is not good, especially since I drive it daily.
Thanks
Corey
