ls400 rotors rubbing on outer tie rod
I finished installing my ls400 brake set up today and noticed some rubbing. I checked it out and found out that my damn outer tie rod is rubbing on the driver side rotor. My freakin brand new rotor is a bit damaged from this. Is my alignment way off or something? My car doesnt pull to the left or right. This is a freakin bummer.

Il have pics up as soon as i get off of work. I dont really see how i would mess up installing this as the calipers just bolts right up and the rotors just goes right in, but im hoping i did lol

So do you guys think that the outer tie rod has been shifted outwards too much causing the ball joint to be laid over? I had sears do my alignment. I have a vid that i am uploading.

Ok so i put the rotor on and hand spun it. This is what happens. Does it seem like i will have to replace this whole part?
