How much did these no-name-brand camber ball joints cost you?
If you have an O'Reilly Auto parts store in town they carry a MOOG upper ball joint that is offset for camber. They also have camber kits for our cars that go on the ends of the upper control arm and bolt to the body allowing your upper control arm to slide inwards or outwards.
I've not had one clearance issue and I have no camber problems. Only this is that these parts are GOOD, and quality parts have a price. the camber kit per side is around 90 bucks. They also carry an Eibach Pro-Alignment Camber Kit for a little over 200.
Be safe and try and steer clear of suspension parts that could put in you danger.Been a long time. Still alive...

ALL camber kits will cause the arm to make contact with the wheel well. Either bang out the wheel well, or run a small amount of negative camber to avoid contact. Or just deal with it...

i got camber kit with tein suspension and the upper control arm is hitting, i just take out the upper arm and grinde it down (1/8-1/4")and no more hitting, problem solve i didnt have this problem with the stock upper arm, after i got this upper arm from ebay, that's when this problem starts

But yes, dealing with it is the worst option. Nothing is dumber than letting your upper ball joints get whacked around constantly.

we need to get someone to make shorter knuckles...that'd fix it...course no one would be able to afford them____

You don't have to shave much. That's a common solution. Just not one I reccommend, because that part of the arm is already pretty thin... I wouldn't weaken that metal any more! It holds the ball joint, afterall...
And shorter knuckles would change the geometry. Someone would have to redesign the whole front suspension.
