JBA UCAs Rubbing

Hey all
I was curious if anyone else here has noticed clearance issues with their JBA UCAs under flex. I haven't noticed anything strange when out wheeling, but today when I was going to change my oil and grease up the bushings I saw this wear mark. It's only on the drivers side UCA, nothing on the passenger side
I'm betting it would be harder to see without having them painted like I did, and that not many people have noticed it, but I'm curious if anybody else has nonetheless
I'm probably gonna go ahead and pound or cut that area back some anyways but this feels like something ain't right - especially how it's only on one side

I’ve never noticed rubbing on mine but I have a body lift. I’m not sure what that’s from but I’m surprised if it’s the body rubbing. You can bend that area of the body by hand, I had to bend mine to get that long bolt out
 
With that wear you would be able to see exactly where it was rubbing on the body. I’m going to say it was something else. Hit anything on the trail? Tree branch stuffed in your wheel well?

Think you might be onto something. I was looking at it today and noticed my splash guard is missing a clip and hangs down low right about there, and the wear mark looks like something's hitting there frequently but very lightly... I'm starting to think it's just rubbed the paint away :doh:
