Finally did the K and a arm swap. Man that was interesting. BIG BIG thanks to Botld GT (dan) you are the man.

Not sure if any of you can help, but we did a 3/4 forward offset MM a-arms, now on SN95s does that cuase the front tires to rub the front bumper under full turn? Mine just touch it, is this normal?

I didn't know you guy's were finishing this tonight. You should have called me. The truck decided it wanted to overheat tonight, so now I have a project for tomorrow. I think the lower radiatior hose decided it didn't want to be part of my truck anymore.

Bumper or fender liner? Sometimes you have to heat that bubble up with a torch on the fender liner and push it in to clear the tire on the one side.

Some cars it will rub the fender and some will just get the liner. That is normal. You have to tweak them a bit to get clearance. Be sure to check it under load also.

If it's just the lip that sticks back towards the inside of the car just cut off the portion that it rubs on. It sounds like its in an area that won't be seen unless your head is under the fender. You shouldn't need to do this but on fox bodies with the front track pushed forward this is necessary to do to get clearance with a decent size tire.
