More Rubbing After UCA Install?

So I had my Dirt King heimed UCA's installed and an alignment done. Ride is excellent now. I'm very happy not to hear the clunk when I go over a large bump. Really feel like I almost ride even a little smoother than before.

The only downside it seems is that for some reason, I now rub more in the rear when turning. Instead of only lightly rubbing at full lock, I rub when only turning about 3/4 of the way.

Can't figure out why that would be the case. No extra height was added. Any ideas? I have not done the PWM. Didn't need to before the new UCA's.

Congrats on the upgrade. The ride is definitely better on those badboys.

As far as the rubbing...honestly not sure, Nick would be the man for that. Aftermarket UCAs do change up your geometry a bit but, I'm stumped as to why it would actually increase the amount of rubbing experienced. :huh:
