Cannot get full front suspension rebound.

Thanks fellas, my mounts have been notched, and like was mentioned with the heim joints I have room for days. No the pin of the upper balljoint is torqueing over into the joint body and stops. I've got a stock arm coming to compare. I am actually seriously questioning my spindle. All the pics and diagrams i've seen show the the top where the balljoint shaft attaches as being angled up and away from the car. Mine seems pretty flat, like maybe it has been bent. Have to completely remove it to clarify. Hotchkis hasnt responded after the initial call and photos sent this week. I really do not want to send it back again, before I rule out the spindle and stock arm. Anybody got a drivers side FMJ spindle laying around?
