Front Disc's Rubbing on Lower A-Arm

[chevy_mike]

It almost looks like you have too much positive camber (top stick out more than bottom) which will tilt the bottom edge of the rotor into the arm. If you can set your lower arms at ride height and put a 90* square on the ground and up to the face of the rotor, it should be flush or slight gap at the top of the rotor to the square. If you have a gap at the bottom, you need to remove shims from the upper arm.

Thanks you are right,i had noticed this was way off when i first installed the spindles and 2 inch drop coils, top of the tires were way out (more on pass than driverside) so i took all removable shims out,the only one left is cone shaped washer.I just checked with the square and i still have a quarter inch gap on the bottom of the rotor. Am i missing something else?? Thanks for the help.

Wow, that is a lot to pull in. Did you ever pull off the upper A arms? I did on my '68 and put them back on the wrong sides, which caused problems. Something somewhere is definitely off as with no shims, you should have a gap at the top of the square to the rotor. Was the truck ever in an accident where it could have twisted the frame rails? Definitely weird.

Nope never took them off the truck, can't see any damage to the frame . It drove nice before I pulled it apart. Time to go deeper I guess.
