Make sure the self adjust cable is seated down on the pin on top where the springs attach. If its not, it will put a slight pull on the adjuster lock, keeping it from fully engaging the wheel.
But if the car was lower, then , the UCA would be moving up and away from the stop, not closer. When the suspension hangs down, then it rests on the stops. I need to get some poly bushings to handle the job. This particular car is stored in the air often.
Seems my Upper control arm Rubber bump stops continue to fail at a miserable rate, on both my R/T, and Belvedere. Squish ,crack, fall apart! Am I alone here. Guess it's time for poly.
Any recommendations?
Sick of buying Junk, for such a simple part.
How is the passenger side ? More clearance? I would look at the pitman arm ,since that places the the drag link down away. The idler arm and the pitman arm should reach down to the same level. Motor mount sag or settlement? A few things are in play. Steering box fit correctly?

I failed to mention...This leak shows up on the second pump of the Master cylinder Bench Bleed. The car itself, has flushed out steel lines and All new Hoses, and wheel cylinders.
KID...Both were new with date codes 6/17,& 8/17. So today I ordered a rebuilt in hopes that they are tested before they go out the door. As far as rebuilding the original... piston seized...been soaking for days , no luck yet. Also agree with you on the sitting on the shelf thing, affecting...
