Rebuilding the from end on my 55 vert and went to install a set of CPP offset upper control arm cross shafts but notice they hit the front of the upper mounting bracket and lack about an 1/8 of an inch from seating all the way against the mounting face where the shims go. Anyone else had this problem?
I do not believe it makes any difference witch way they go.

I had the same problem. I just put shims in it until I get it aligned. Hopefully, it'll need at least that much shimming.
