Re: Help: front lower control arms rubbing on brake disc!

Can't bash the lower control arm in, becuase it doesn't extend that far out.
My ball joints bolt onto the end of the arm & then stick out past it.
In the last post, the pic shows 2 angled flat pieces bolted together. That's the end of the arm & start of the ball joint.
Ummm... what's RCAs?
The calipers have already got 1.5mm shaved off them to move outwards slightly. This is already 0.5mm into the "meat" of the caliper.
I'm probably going to grind off parts of the ball joint itself.
Spoke to the guy I've been dealing with at Racebrakes & they've done stuff to these for race cars to get clearance.
If this works, I might some new ones & repeat the process on them.
