wheels hitting
Morning all
Whilst playing around last night turning the steering wheel I noticed it possible to get the wing stays to hit the wishbones.
I've read about using springs for temporarily sorting out self centreing but what method should be used to prevent the wheels being turned so
far.
Is there a solution available off the shelf which is suitable as a permenant fix rather than a short temporary job and where do you get the items
from.
Thanks
Nigel

We put some spacers over the Steering rack on either side. Restricting movement between steering arm socket and steering Casing. They are about 3mm
thick... so stopping lock just a little bit sooner than normal.
We made them ourselves so not available off the shelf.

You just need a spacer making for the rack to shroten the Maximum travel.

Same, two on either side. They are still doing the job a year on.
