I'm having a problem where my spring seems to be rubbing on the chasis/strut tower only on the driver side after 034 camster plate install (added1.5 deg neg camber/1 deg caster)

I had an alignment and I noticed my SAI is way different from side to side.

I have inserted a picture of my alignment results.

Does my SAI look out of spec?

Could this mean I have a bent/bad part in my suspension? (possibley causing the spring rubbing)

Thanks!

Everything looks good on there except for the right side SAI. 🤷‍♂️

Camber is even and so is caster, so I doubt your subframe needs to be moved or shifted.

Interested to see if some of the vets on here have something to add.

At this point ive discovered my spring rubbing is not caused by an alignment issue and more so a compatability issue between 034 camster strut mount and ebaich prokit springs (and "maybe" my car might have more than average seam sealer in the strut tower?)

I'm just going to assume the tech didnt measure SAI correctly because it wasnt of his concern...
