Spindle hitting lower control arm...

[StimmyRanger]

Just lifted my truck and installed some new suspension parts;
Moog lower control arms

• 4" spindle lift with upper control arms (got used like/new)
• tie rods
• 33x12.5x15 rims/tires (used)

For some reason when i turn left i was hearing some rubbing/grinding. Didnt notice any rubbing while looking at the usual spots until i seen some clean metal on my lower control arm. What should i do, grind the control arm? Grind the spindle? just enough to get them not to touch???

I would contact the company that made the spindles and see what they have to say.

Got them used, dono the maker. I think imma just grind a little bit on both pieces and see if that helps.

I'd be careful grinding the control arm, they are pretty thin. I would see if you can remove most if not all the material from the spindle since it's solid cast iron.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll do that. Makes more sense now that you said that
