      Help - UMI

      help/advice please... I put the wheels on for the first time today and noticed that the lower control arm is like a 1/16'' away from the brake rotor (willwood) ... Anyone else run into this issue or have an idea if this is okay, seems like when the suspension travels it will make contact with the rotor.

      Called UMI and left a message



      any ideas?

      Is that at ride height with correct camber?

      I am not positive but adding some shims to get negative camber should gain some clearance. Do you have any shims installed?

      Could clearance lower control arm or shim behind wheel bearing a little. It does not take much clearance there to be okay.
