So I just noticed this issue today:

This is on a 23 non-SAS Badlands with SAS takeoffs and 6112 kit with the front circlips on the top groove (#6?) No other suspension mods.

Looks like the inner wheel must be banging the UCA. Passenger side has no marks/dents, just the drivers side.

What should I do to correct this?

If you turn your wheel full turn side to side with it in park. you should be able to see if it hits.

Definitely agree with everyones thoughts. Installer should have been tapping the spindle to release pressure from the tapered ball joint stud. Looks like there are no marks on the spindle where they should be hitting, so there is a good chance the marks are from a hammer. Could speculate on why the other side doesnt have marks, maybe someone caught the issue. Anyway, it should just be cosmetic. I hate to see things like this

Are there any signs of impact to the rim?

Installer took a BFH and hit where he shouldn't have. Kinda why I prefer to DIY.
