These trucks from the factory turned more to the right than the left. It says right in the factory brochure:
Also if it hits the nut on the spring eye bolt, they are installed backwards. The nuts should be on the inside of the frame.
Ok- You know I thought I had read that somewhere before...Thank you!
That explains the difference I see.
Only when on the lift does the tie rod hit- it hits the U bolt threaded end at the rear of the U bolt.
I'll verify it only hits with the suspension hanging on the lift, but I think the U bolts are installed properly with the open end down.
Possibly if significantly different, but in practical use, no if adjusted according to the manual: "screw in the adjuster nut until tight" (spring totally collapsed to coil bind), "then backed off just until slot lines up with cotter pin holes in the housing, insert cotter pin."
The furthest you could back it off before the pin could be inserted is 1/2 turn, so it is nearly collapsed, not much room for movement. The springs are there only to give a small amount of road shock absorption.
This is the bolt/nut Pete was referring to; I don't see what it could bottom against, but I haven't gotten under to see. It's the locking bolt for the kingpin.
