changing steering stop
How much should I cut off?
Got my '85 spindles on the 70, and like I read on here, the steering stop won't let it turn all the way. I haven't attached the tie-rods yet. I plan on cutting the stops down. There is about an inch difference from the tie-rod and its location on the spindle. I would think you would want the spindle to stop before the steering box stops turning. Any suggestions before I start cutting would be helpful.

Re: changing steering stop
I'll tell'im that...nobody wants to believe it the first time they hear something. They could hear it from the blithering idiot down the street and believe them, as long as it is the second person to say it.

Re: changing steering stop
Trial and error is the method I will be using this weekend to do the same thing. I am thinking that I can get some measurments from the old spindle, at least to get in the ball park. Tell you what, you keep me posted, and I'll keep you posted

Re: changing steering stop
Sounds like a plan
![]() Was planning on getting mine alligned, so everything at least started in an equal position on each side. Pop the outers out again (should not change the alignment). Then just slowly start grinding until the stop hits before the box stops turning. Grind, loosely install tierod...repeat as necessary. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Might even go as far as making a patern of the first side to make the other side a little easier and faster. Course that is if the &^$&^#$@ing rain will stop so I can get the brakes finished in the first place.
