    Not possible to put them on wrong side I wouldn’t think anyway. Reason I say this is because I did put them on wrong side not paying attention when I first put them on. What made me notice was the screw hole for the abs cable was on the opposite side. Sadly yes I did install them wrong side then instantly removed and put them on other side and everything lined up.

    Here’s a pic of the drivers side before with the stock UCAs to show they are oriented the same.

    I just don’t see how it’s rubbing soooooo much more than factory UCAs. It’s in alignment bay now so hopefully good news will come after they’re done. Told them to adjust caster as high as possible.

    I got mine aligned with the factory control arms and asked them to add as much caster as they could I ended with about 2 degrees each side. Hopefully the alignment fixes your problems!

    Well, that was quick, I listed my factory suspension for sale this morning and it looks like it may be sold already!

    Looks right,
    Just seems odd that the only thing done was new UCAs that are suppose to push the tire further forward and it made it rub more on the back.

    Usually companies will have directions as to a standard way you should orient the control arm before you get the alignment. I know with my SPC i was told to orient the ring on them in a +2 direction for 2.5 inches of lift and it instantly fixed my rubbing even before alignment.

    Hmm not sure why. Ive had zero issues with mine and have been perfect! easy to adjust as well. Couldnt speak for the others who advised against but ive had absolutely zero issues. I know there have been some with JBA and tire sizes ive seen though.

    If his was adjustable that would be a possibility but his are not, they have built in positive caster which should have pushed the tires forward.

    On the alignment issues I feel if the alignment tech doesn't understand how they work or refuses to align them then I wouldn't want them to align my anyway.

    So JBA are not adjustable? Thats strange then why he would still have worse rubbing after installing them.
