SPC A Arm Problem installation

Bought the SPC A-arm in 2007 and i guess i bought the ones without the spacer(updated kit), so i'm starting to have issues with the Arm hitting the upper inside on hard turns and bumps. Called SPC and they said they will send out the new kit to fix that problem. Anyone know how to install this or have any pictures or a DIY thread on how to install it. The SPC tech guy was saying something about it going over the strut and said no need to get a realignment or anything. Did a search but found nothing.

You will need to drop the strut in order to remove and install the control arm. I'm not sure what spacer they are talking about unless its the one that goes behind the hub. Post a pic if you can.

You will also need to make sure the caster and camber settings are the same as what you have now on the new arm.

I have the same issue with the arm bottoming out (hitting the top) and I have the revised kit. I was told that because of my drop height, I have gone beyond the normal working conditions of the kit
