hey, i dont know if this will help much, but i just bought some air cylenders that came off an accord, and you could notice where the cans had been rubbed pritty hard.. so im guessing its a common thing? good luck

GRIND DOWN THE SPINDLE WHERE ITS RUBBING THE CYLINER. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE AIM CANS, I THINK ITS COMMON. MY OLD SMC CYLINDERS HAD AN OFFSET HOLE IN THE LOWER MOUNT TO KEEP IT TUCKED INWARD MORE, TO PREVENT RUBBING.

Like everybody said, just grind the back edge of the spindle. A camber kit will also help move it out away from the can.

I have the same problem but after a while the arm grinds enough out of the can that it clears. I have the same markings on mine but it didn't hurt the can at all.

I have a 90 accord with cce cans my hit but soon as I put my camber kit on it cleared, but it pushes the upper control arm out some, which caused it to start hitting my strut tower, so I just knoched it, and it has never given me any problem, that was 2 years ago.http://www.streetsourcemag.com/uploads/Ownerprofiles/gmoyeshavedclean/32200575655AM97001.jpg
