Default Suspension Arms

What can be done so the end of the suspension arms front and back would not touch the inside of the wheel. I have this problem my wheels are hitting the end of the suspension arms where there are pins connected into it, so now my wheels has this black circle around it and its grinding........ help

what sized wheels do u have the stock size or bigger and what wheels do u have as well. ur wheels camber could be set to much in one direction. those are the only reasons i could think of that happening

I think you need to adjust your endpoints. Because that should not be hapening. If not put like one or two shims on. Make sure your hex hubs are tight and your wheels are on tight.
