Tire rub after icon UCA intsall and alignment?

[soundstudio315]

Have I icon coil overs currently set to level out the stance, been that for a couple of months now. This weeke I had my mechanic install the icon's tubular UCA's and do an alignment. Now it's rubbing on the mud flaps?

I get how to fix the rub, but any ideas as to why it would rub now?

Lower caster will move tire towards the rear, higher moves it forward. Look at your aligsheet, I'd guess caster is low (maybe not "low", but lower than before).

As long as it's not unheard of, guess I'll the ditch the mud flaps or maybe crank up the coilovers?

Just a pain when you think you're adding improvements to find it out it impacted something else negatively.

If you have a printout from the alignment, what are the caster numbers? With the new ucas, you should be able to get good numbers. If caster is too low, handling will suffer.

unfortunately, I forgot to ask him. But handling seems fine. No difference from what I can tell.
