Default FS2 - Rear Camber link rubbing on wheel

Is anybody else having this problem? I noticed when I ran as per kit (Plastic hubs, outside hole, 2mm spacer) that the wheels rubbed quite badly under full droop and it was audible when cornering at speed. I adjusted the setup (removed the spacer) to correct but wondered if there was a work around?

I have the same problem with the Alloy hubs rubbing when in the in the #1 position (very outer hole) as well.

Because the ball screws in the top, the angled rod ends that are available from various places (Jconcepts, Durango, etc) are not appropriate...

Thoughts/comments guys?

That i svery interesting, how much droop are you running on the back?

I can honestly say that the very wrost I have had is a VERY slight mark when running in the position you state, I often run on the next hole in with 3mm under the outer rear stud without rubbing at all.

Can you post up a pic?

Just built my FS2, the links look just as close as yours are. Not too much worry really as they'll only rub when landing jumps, should be fine.

I suspect the shock tower mount you are using are originally designed for xz5 SP which are 2mm lower (due to the diffs sitting 2mm higher on SP) giving your car a lot of droop when using same length shocks for the FS.
