Stance coilovers rubbing RUCA and axle... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I've been playin with my ride height a bit after installing all my suspension again after raising the subframe. This is what I'm working with: PBM solid subframe risers, Stance GR+ Pros, Megan RUCA/traction/toe. The RUCA and coil are hittin. And the coilover is running on the axle. I don't remember any of this happening before I tore my shit all apart. Anyone got any ideas why? I'm stumped other than the RUCA might be on the wrong sides.

i haven't dealt with s13 suspension yet but if you look at both sides do they have opposite angles to the way they mount? if so then i'd say yes the RUCA's are backwards.

woah that shouldn't happen. They're probably backwards.

I'll switch em around tomorrow and see. What about that axle clearance situation?

Your traction arms are just set too long, they are used to tilt your knuckles backward ...

Flip flopped the RUCAs today and all is good now. Nothing hits anymore.
