That's what happens when you're too low (less shock tower clearance) with fat adjustable UCA's (even less tower clearance).

I say toss the UCA's and put stockers back on. With proper alignment they're not needed anyway. If you're skeptical, just look around at a few threads in this forum and you should see that camber kits are almost always not needed, and are really just alot of hype and a waste of money.

i have the same issues with skunk2 adjustable upper control arms. like Patrick mentioned you need to remove the arms and put the stock ones back OR you need to raise the front of the car up so it wont happen.

the skunk2 upper A arms are much thicker and result in less clearance.
