'33 Rear Upper Control Arms Binding

[mattmckain]

I just got my kit about a month ago. I also ordered a Moser 8.8" rear end from FFR, which was delivered directly from Moser. I had read that the upper control arms were redesigned by FFR (and Moser was supposed to file down the ears where the control arms mount) to prevent binding. However, mine still bind. FFR stated my only option was to file down the ears on the rear end. Wondering if FFR or Moser dropped the ball on this one. Anyone else have this issue? Thank you!

odd...I got my kit about a month ago but just got my UCA for the 4-link Monday this week. Installed them on my moser 8.8" 4-link and there is no binding.

I take that back...just looked again....I wouldn't consider it "binding" cause it moves without issues but the are scrapping just the slightest causing the paint to chip off.

I will pull that apart and do a little clearance grinding.

Rear upper controls properly clearance ....no more rubbing

Thank you. Mine is the same. Moves thru travel, but still hits. Guess I'll do a little grinding myself.
