XT130 struts with AE86 PS arms issue

[86Ali]

OK, so I just assembled my XT130 struts and springs and camber tops, using the XT130 LCA's, and TTT AE86 PS knuckle.

Put on my 14" wheels and they don't spin?

The caliper is not touching, and can't see anything else fouling?

Before installing the hubs spun freely?

I think the dust shield is pushed up against the rotor.

does the AE86 Knuckle move the strut inwards?

I'm thinking I have to remove the dust shield, or grind down the end of the LCA(don't want to do this.....)or get a NRCA?

Anyone else come across this?

Using rca's?

Sometimes you need to tap the end fold of the LCA a bit flatter to make clearance, but not usually with rcas.
