    Inner Wheel Damage

    What do you guys make of this and suggest?
    I had installed FFR Lower Control Arms a few months ago. My cousin drove the car briefly to see how it pulled and felt. I noticed it was sitting very low. Once back at the shop I saw the car was sitting ~1-1.5” lower than when it had the donor LCAs in so I had him adjust the car back up to height. I drove the car home (~15miles) from my cousins shop after doing a red-neck alignment. It didn’t feel out of alignment however I still planned to get an alignment. I haven’t driven it since.

    I was under the car tonight and noticed inner rim damage that I am pretty sure wasn’t there before. (Weights had been moved by the last owner after he poked a curb and needed to rebalance the tire but fairly certain the gouges were not there before.

    The upper a-arms (at the ball joint) are real close to the rim. I’m concerned it’s coming from the UCAs coming into contact with the rim. Maybe when he took it for a ride when it was sitting low?
    I am thinking this was from the large amount of negative camber which caused the UCA to contact the rim.
