Upper control arm rubbing.

[exia]

My 24 Hybrid off-road just got new suspension, and I noticed it might be rubbing on the upper control arm.

Any thoughts or fixes, anyone?
Is this a line issue, a UCA clearance issue, or did it rub when I lifted it on a jack to rotate the wheels?

I marked it in yellow to see if it continues to rub.

Looks like you may need to turn that shock reservoir down to rotate hydraulic elbow in to move the line away from the control arm.

I see. Could this be done on my own? Or recommend going to a shop

I’m not trying to be rude. But.. if you have to ask that question you’re probably better off taking it to the shop that installed it.

Your good .

Just asking, as Ive never loosened a fitting under pressure, is all. Don't know how many turns before I eat turd.

NO NO NO! Not the fitting. The body of the reservoir. They rotate in the mount.

That's what you meant. Yes, I tried it today and need to test.

Okay. Cool. You don’t want to loosen those fittings. Good luck.

After clocking the external reservoir I have no success any other ideas you may have ?

Does anybody think this is an alignment issue?

I’d say rotate that line closer to the spring. But I’m betting that line is under pressure. I’d be real tempted to take it back to the installer at this point.
