Speedtech upper control arm angle seems too much under load?

The issue is the wheel BS. you have to keep in mind some of these parts (like the sway bar) were NEVER DESIGNED to run high back space wheels, once we start putting parts on that were never originally intended things start to contact other things.
We do not MAKE the sway bar, we did not design the sway bar. Possibly the ridetech Muscle bar will work as far as clearance goes but you will have to invent some way to attach it to the control arm as they use a different type and location for the sway bar end link location.
I am going to guess that you are using a 17" wheel?
The other option is to go to a narrower rim like you mentioned I know the following combinations work
17" with 5" BS is about max with the AFX spindle and even then will depend on the wheel barrel profile (depending on what steering arm you have.)
17 with 5.5 is max if using the Unisteer rack ( they supply a shorter steering arm)
18 x 8 with 5,25 BS stock spindle
18 x 9 with 6" bs ON THE AFX SPINDLE will fit but is tight.



I am sure this doesn't confuse the issue at ALL :-)

Thanks for jumping in again. I appreciate your advices.

The wheel is a Forgeline ZX3R That was originally made for a 2005+ Mustang.
It is a 18x9 with 36 ET (6,4"BS)
I am using a 23mm adapter to be able to use on the Chevy bolt pattern.
That means the BS "dropped" to about 5.5"
