Is your engine and front sheet metal on the car? If there is no weight on the front they will hit the corner of the frame as I remember.

As Brian has pointed out if there is no weight on the front end it's normal.

Also be aware that you should not tighten either the upper or lower control arm bushing bolts/nuts until the suspension is at final ride height with the full weight on it.
