Wheel rubbing upper control arm

[blue 66 charger]

On my 66 charger my front passenger side rim keeps rubbing on the upper control arm, i check and for some reason it's only that side, i got good clearance on the driver side but it's very close on the passenger side making it rub during right turns and braking. Any idea what it could be? It has a new upper control arm on both sides, everything rebushed, and a new tortion bar on the passenger side.

Bent spindle, defective UCA, bad upper ball joint ?

Might seem like a stretch…but do both front wheels have the same backspace?

Did it have this issue before or is this a new problem that just popped up after a suspension refresh?

I am having the same problem with my 66 satelitte. Right side only. I can't find any extra play on that side. Using mopar wheels fron a newer Cordoba and have had them on my 64 fury sw with no issues. I now I have a 1/4 inch spacer installed to make it work.

When you say “everything rebushed”, are you saying pivot shaft bushings as well? Wondering why only one torsion bar replaced. Remembering back a few years before rebuilding the front end on my car, I went to a friend’s house to use his lift and made a right turn into his driveway. As I walked out of the garage and looked at my car, the right front wheel camber was crazy tilted in at the top. I backed the car several feet, then pulled straight forward. After that, the wheels were straight. My pivot shaft bushings on my lca’s were shot. I never noticed any rubbing as you described, but wonder if it is something along those lines.

I had a wheel weight rubbing the upper control arm. I didn't realize the rim was that close. These wheels were 1987-89 chrysler rims, 15x7, 4-1/4" backspace.

Is your front ride height set correctly ?

Yep, I knocked a clip on weight off the Bee on one side on the first drive. Had to go stick on weights for that one.
