<DIV>If the steering arms are inverted then for the tie rod ends to attach to
the taper they would have to be above the arm instead of the proper below the
arm attachment. Thus that should be easy to determine. In any case right side
up, or upside down that alone should not cause rubbing as they would be equally
right or wrong. This would also help to rule out having two left of right
steering arms because it would cause a situation where one tie rod end is above
the arm and the other below.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I stated earlier and Mark Rense did today the possibility exists that
the rack is not centered. By that we don’t mean in the rack clamps
themselves. Rather the rack only has a certain length of travel. If that travel
is not centered...., and then the tie rod ends adjusted to align the wheels, the
car can steer further in one direction than the other and potentially cause the
rubbing issues. This too can be easily checked by putting a piece of tape on the
top of the steering wheel when the front wheels are in a direct forward
position. Turn full left, then full right and observe if at the end of
each direction the tape is in a relative opposing position (meaning 9 O’clock –
3 O’clock or some similar combination such as 11-1, 10-2, 9-3, 8-4, 7-5.
If not then the rack is likely not centered. This can easily be fixed by
detaching the steering U-joint and correcting. It will also requires
re-adjusting the tie rod ends.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you had previously been running smaller wheel/tires you may have never
noticed this, but the new, larger wheels/tires are now making this situation
evident. Thus it can create a confusing, “Where did this come from.”</DIV>
