No i did not hit fender, cause i think i am high enough to clear, before SPC camber arms, i have about one finger gap, after SPC arms, i have 2 finger gap now in the front, the car looks funny with higher front and lower back. I even double check the installation again, any ideas?
had to raise it a quarter of an inch today...
arm hits under the fender at really big bumps... doesnt happen often, but sometimes its unavoidable... like yesterday in the freeway, big pothole, unavoidable... guess i accepted that i was too low... have almost no suspension travel...

as u can see, the cylidrical piece with the the spc logo would hit before the recess... it was moved slightly and now im hitting inside the actual recess i believe... (look at previous pics from earlier pages to understand the term "recess")... i guess im just to low???? caster setting is at 0 (zero) too...

OK at -0.6 camber, my ball joint does not stick out past the arm frame.
it's just inside.
What year is your car, has it ever been in an accident??

do you have any photos of how low you actually had the car? I'm at about 25.5" and 26" all around and have zero issues.
Are your camber arms from SPC the OLD ONES or the ones that were revised? This WAS a common accurance like 2 years ago, but SPC revised their arms(not sure if this was mentioned int he past 5 pages).
Your camber settings really shouldn't affect if the arm hits or not. The ball can slide to adjust, but even on the complete outter setting, it should not be an issue. Keep in mind, to be within spec just try and keep your camber settings below -2 to 0...and keep your toe in check.
From the photos, the the TOP of the caster....where did you purchase the arms from?
