skinz a arms with oft relocator

[PoliticalMachine]

Anybody with these mods notice that when you make a sharp turn the lockout on the steering stem doesn't touch. The spindle hits the a arm before the steering lock hits. Also the tighter the turn its looks like the bottom shock bolt may come in contact with the tie rod. I'm thinking of drilling two holes on bottom bracket that holds the relocator and putting bolts in to create a new stop for the steering. Any input or advice would be great. I have pictures and will post later.

Thanks

Andrew

Here are the pictures.. The backside of the a arm is hitting the spindle when fully locked.

Here you can see that the tie-rod is really close to the lower shock bolt.

Is it possible for the tie rods to be on backwards?

No cuz of the bend in the tie rod

Do I have the tie-rods angled to high? Should I make them more even with the bottom a arm?

Yes you should

You could flip the shock bolts around to gain a bit more clearance also.

I noticed this on my sled as well. I have the Grizz relocater on mine. I am thinking about just putting a stick on wheel weight on the sub frame at the steering stop, this should prevent it from turning as far and contacting the spindle.

The stick on weights sound like a great idea.

Anybody try the weights yet?

Politicalmachine what hole are you running your swaybar mount in?

I just picked up some weights today they look like they will work great. I have the sway bar mounts in the middle hole.

The ty rod should be on the same angle as the a-arm ..
