Adjusting the wheel stop may help but the adjustment would have to be on the left side to limit turning ability to keep the right tire from rubbing on the right spring? Sounds about right to me. When in full turn left the right side rubs the spring, the left side doesn’t rub at all. I would think the left would rub on the frame, but it doesn’t

This may be due to the block on the right side. You've lowered the spring in relation to the axle center line on the right side. This puts the spring closer to the meat of the tire as it turns. Don't know if I'm explaining it well. But my guess is that is where your issue is. As said, Would just adjust the steering stop out a tad and call it done.

The wheel stops are about 3/4 to 1 inch from being engaged in full left or right turn as they are set now. I may need to install longer bolts on the stops. that will keep the tire from rubbing the spring, but I hate to reduce the turning radius. Still its better than tearing up the tire or the spring. I plan on reducing the height on the block by a 1/2 inch also to see if that makes a difference.

Getting your wheel stops set up is a good idea.
My 7.00 x 16 NDTs have been rubbing on the springs at full turn forever. No real ill effects except for a shiny spot on the spring. I probably should adjust my stops some day but I probably won't.

Especially when just tightening the bolts holding the grease seal on the knuckle can change the angle of steering...

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

So glad I came into this thread, I have always been concerned that the D30 axle I swapped into my '2A had too much camber . . . but this shows it is normal. |
