Re: Something doesn't look right with my disk spindles

I was wondering the same thing last night at work. I guess I'll get everything put together and see what it does when it's an the ground. If that doesn't fix the problem, could I just cut off the steering stops or do I need them on there. The only thing I can think of is that the tires would rub when turning since there is nothing to stop them. Or I suppose I could cut them off, put everything together, and weld new stops to the LCA's. Any thoughts?
