Exclamation Hotchkis rear upper adjustible control arm problem question for GM A-Body??

I`m in the process of doing the installation when i noticed on the upper control arm specifically the drivers side i had to put a notch in it cause it would not fit due to it hitting the rear end housing,has anyone experienced this problem with their`s on their GM A-Body?


Thanks
