Tie Rod hitting Frame
05/10/11 at 9:54am  
I have my RF tie-rod positioned at the bottom of the tie-rod adapter to the spindle.  The tie rod is hitting my frame and causing my steering to lock up in the corners.  
Does anybody have a problem with their RF tie rod hitting their frame?  Is there an easy fix?  

Thanks

One pretty easy fix is to notch the bottom of the frame horn and weld in a half round piece of pipe where the tie rod is hitting.(if your rules will allow)

Notching it should work.  Thanks for the help.

We sell an out-pace tie rod that is pre-bent.  Works great.  All Shaw modifieds run them on the right front.  I have several in stock.  I can bring it with me to Tulare this weekend.
