    No. It's clear to me. The question then is whether I have interference problems because of the JBA UCA. Does it drop the knuckle more/less than the OEM UCA or does it just have a better angle on the ball joint?
    Maybe that is why AEV and Superlift don't see the rubbing on the wheel or bent tie rods. There must be something unique about my setup that is causing the interference.

    If It makes you feel any better, after I installed my JBA UCA's my front end measures between 1/4 - 1/2 inch higher. I wonder if it is somehow pushing down on the steering knuckle/LCA causing more lift?
