97 XLT Front Shock Seems to be Rubbing against Track

[djbinding]

Just installed a replacement front shock. I never really noticed the space between the top of the mount and the track, but it seems to be real close . Like almost rubbing. I noticed the track does lift up and away from shock when moving. Just seems a lil too close for comfort. The upper idlers dont appear worn either.

Can you post a picture?

Mid left screen is the shock. U can see the mounting bolt at the top near the track.

This looks like the "extra 12" suspension. The shock eye being this close to the track is normal in this case.

The track may scrub it occasionally. This is okay and normal for this suspension.

Thank. I needed a good opinion.
