Tire rubbing upper control arm....

[MOLONxLABE]

A couple weeks ago I was offroading, hit a nasty washout way too fast and knocked my raptor out of alignment. So I took it to a local shop for a realignment.


Now there's a problem, the tire rubs the UCA on the passenger side at full steering lock turning to the left. I've never had any clearance problems with this tire/wheel/UCA combo before.


Overhead view at full steering lock:



You can see the rubbing mark on the uca.







At full lock turning to the right on the drivers side there's a half inch of clearance on the same spot of the uca.


So my question is, did the shop just **** up the realignment or is it at all possible something else was damaged/bent?

Only thing that could of bent is the spindle. Alignment would have to be way out for it to magically start rubbing.

My generals and toyos on method nv's rubbed on my Rpg upper arms. Same location.

Switched to camburgs and no more issues
