Can't find anything on a GV steering stop to stop chassis and control arm rubbing. Any one put something on or know or anything to make it happen other than skinnier tyres or stop steering so hard?

That would be because they don't have any adjustable steering stops. The length of the steering rack is what limits steering.

Ive thought of fitting some spacers to the inside of the rack ends so that it will not pull in as far..... Have a look underneath and you will understand what I mean.

Yeah I've sussed it out maybe the spacers could be viable... I'll look into it. Was just wondering if anyone had done anything already.

This is sort of what I was thinking about. Was looking at machining up some thick wall tube to use as spacers....but not sure how well it would work.

bit like the opposite to the rack end spacers that the drifters use.
