Steering: lock to lock
Is there a way to increase the distance between steering locks to sharpen my turning angle? the PO ran larger tires on it and had it this way to prevent rubbing, obviously, but now with smaller tires it makes for a hell of time when im trying maneuver.
Thanks yall

I don't have a pic, they're just bolts on either end of the axle tubes, that limit the turning radius of the knuckles.
