    I have the light racing ucas with bilstein 5100s set at "1.75. I was wondering if anyone has this set up and what position the ball joint is in. Should it be at the D position and pulled all the way outboard? My tires are 265/70R16. I just had level 8 tracker wheels put on today and the small change in back spacing is causing light rubbing when steering is at locks. Looks like right now passenger ball joint is at A position and driver ball joint at B. Any help is appreciated.

    Put them both in the same position.

    If you have the logo facing out towards the tire, you should not have any rubbing.

    Logo out and pulled outboard in the slot? And then align. The shop installed them in the A and B positions. Assumed they should both be in the same positions.

    At 1.75" you probably would have been fine with stock UCA
