Okay I have a patrol inspection and they wrote up a bus was hitting the drag link when a tight turn to the left . This is an out of service issue if I can't fix it . I tried adjusting the stop on the right front wheel . It changed a little but I am almost out of bolt . So do they make a longer bolt ? This is a IC RE 300 . Open to ideas on how to adjust this so the left front tire doesn't rub on the drag link

Have you changed the rims or the tires or any other part of the steering system?

What size tires are you running and what air pressure? We had the same issue with Firestone FS 561's. We switched to FS 560, they are 1" narrower, and the problem went away.

I think I might have the answer . I went to a class awhile back put on by TRW re:Steering boxes . I was taught about poppit settings . I think that might be the direction to go .Just an idea .

Sounds like a class worth attending.
