      Your tires are SUPPOSED to be 245/40/18 not 245/45/18. Need to verify this. They look like 40s, not 45s

      It does have to much caster. You may be able to wiggle the entire subframe forward . There are 5/8" alighnment holes under the firewall. Make sure the frame is not jammed back to far.



      If you could wiggle the front subframe forward it would help with the problem.

      Hotchkis makes their control arms geomtery corrected so that when you add caster, and move the upper ball joint back, the lower ball joint is moved forward so the wheel stays more centered while adding caster.

      The tires are probably 40s my head hurts.

      The subframe can't come forward anymore and the bushings are aluminum, stock height body mounts just for the record.

      These are Global West which I assume are the same? Nothing has been hit and I had stock suspension on this car and subframe with no issues. Well the tires were not 18s but you get the point. Keep em coming guys I appreciate the help and I'm trying everything you throw at me.

      Like the alignment guy said to get it to clear I would have to have over an inch of spacer behind the arm. That can't be right.
