I've got my LCAs off for sandblasting, reinforcing and powder coating. Part of my reinforcing is welding these "bands" on the leading edge of the LCA to help prevent them from tearing out as I've seen in some pictures. It's occurred to me now that depending on how tight the tolerances are between the end of the LCA and the inside of the wheel I might have some rubbing issues. I doubt it but I'd rather know now before I have them powdercoated. The "band" I've added is about 3/16" thick. My whole suspension is apart so I can't measure what the gap would normally be. Can anyone check on their car and give me an idea about how much room exists there? Thanks!
Here's a shot of the modifications I made
This is before the LBJ collar was installed. And I'll be boxing in the bottom with the DGo plates.
