Hello all. Before someone say it :), yes I probably should have go with verkline but… I already have SPL.

I’ve searched a lot but I can’t find my answer. For the front, I have FLCA, tie rod end and sway bar link but not the caster bushing. I’m installing the SPL FLCA (just started on driver side for now) and on the instructions, they clearly asked to turn the wheels left and right and check for any binding issue so, before to torque everything, I just tried to steer left and right and I can’t go on driver side unless I jack the knuckle. Can go all way to passenger side though. I tried to play with the correction shim but no very much better. I did try it before to remove the oem and it was turning just fine. I don’t think this is normal and I’d like to ear from those who have installed them.

Thanks

You are doing this with the car on the ground or the car in the air?
It’s on jack stand. I’ve spoken with an alignment shop and the guy told me this is probably normal with the suspension fully extended. I’ll see how it’s look once it’s back on the floor.

Yea, you need to do that sweep at ride height.
