    How do these angles look? Anything I should be concerned about in the near future?0D259E92-790F-42B3-A657-13651A690810.jpgF0BD1970-815D-4B51-B869-790D401C045C.jpg

    That seems like a bit of rust for CA... did you get the coilovers second hand?

    The CV angles look ok to me, but I'm no expert.

    It’s more the angles of where the axle goes into the differentials

    I did get them second hand unfortunately. Wish I would've just gone with a brand new set

    You are focusing on the cv boots near the tire. We need a better picture of the cv boots closer to the differential. Those are the ones which commonly touch and cause issues.

    Looks like the inners are making contact on both sides, that shiny ring on each one is a tell-tale sign. Could slide the boots down a bit to relieve it.

    The shiny rings can be normal from turning. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are always touching.

    edit: possible from wheel travel up and down.

    Angle of the inner boot shouldn't change much when turning, either way you can see the rib touching at the six o'clock position on each one.

    Those inner fins are definitely rubbing. They will rub apart in no time, take it from me.

    Best solution is to lower your front lift until you can slide a piece of paper between the fins indicating they aren't rubbing

    Looks like they’re touching. I’d lower it a little until you see space between the fins.

    What size tires?

    May need to lower and then adjust caster to avoid rubbing. Fortunately, SPC's allow for adjustment.

    Do you think 1 rotation of the collar would help at all?
