Front lower control arm binding against mount

[packerbacker89]

I have an email off to FFR about this, but while waiting for a response from them, I was curious to see if anyone else has run into this issue and what was done to fix it.

We just started our build the last few months and have been working on the front suspension. After mounting the front lower mustang control arms, I’m running into a binding issue against the control arm mounts, and it’s also close to the frame. I can’t mount the shock as it is, since the control arm won’t lower far enough.

Is it alright to use the outer control arm mounts (I’m using 2003/2004 mustang parts)? It looks like that might provide enough room for the control arm to swing down, but the manual said the outer holes were for older mustang parts. I’ve also read on this forum that it could lead to issues with the wheels sticking too far out.
