Default is this possible?? (wishbone/knuckle assmebly)

ok, so ive been asking peeps and doing searches on here. im having that prob with the UCA hitting the "very" top of the fender. not that part you bang out to clear the UCA. so heres my theory or rather a question. is it possible some accords have longer wishbones than others??

example, my friend and i both have accord wagons 5th gen. we both have the same suspension, F&F type 1 and same diameter wheels (17's). we both have similar drops in the front, if not similar, then the same. but his UCA doesnt hit and mine does. this is driving me nuts. can anyone explain??

when i stand on the door jamb and bounce the front up and down, not doing this aggressively. i can hear a pretty loud tappin noise from the UCA. my last resort is notching the top of the strut tower.

just about everyone who uses balljoint style camber kit get this problem, just like me, some choose to cut the fender area out a bit, others just hammer away, good luck.
