Okay guys I need some help. I have a 68 Mercury Cougar Xr7. I redid my front suspension with new upper and lower control arms and strut rods and just got the car to the alignment shop. Apparently the upper control arms right at the ball joint are rubbing on the tire.
The shop thinks I have the wrong wheel or the wrong arm. They won't even try to align it, because they don't think it will help. The tires are the 14" styled steel wheel that came on a Cougar and are the originals I think. I got the arms from Mustangs Unlimited Cougar division and I think they are correct as well.
What could be causing the arms to run on the tire? I think it could be just because the alignment is way off, but the shop won't hear of it. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
