You shouldnt need any more lock that that tho, have you driven it like that yet?
This is how my lock is stopped...
What am doing wrong?? Does everyone using a lock spacer and power steering knuckles have this issue?
How do I fix it and will aftermarket arms help?

AJPS.
No, the car is still being built. Take note that there is no motor or box in it yet, not sure how much difference that will make.
I'm not really trying to get more lock, because its pretty good.
I'm more concerned with the steering hooking up mid drift, and bits being damaged and failing.

just got a pair of t3 today, fark they are heavy and over engineered!! do u think they would be strong enough if they were aluminium.

thats what i was talking about further back in the thread, when you run like that you will get steering lockout when do really tight turns
also not that when the car is on the ground the weight makes the angle change and you won't normally hit that lip bit, you'll hit the arm itself, mine has big dents/polished area from hitting with the old setup
Dom you won't have any problem with binding or whatever. I've been like that for years, oddly enough when I'm actually driving and using the lock it doesn't scrape anymore. Probably some of my old pics around but there's definitely more lock on the entry than static.
Ok, thanks for the feedback boost+ken
boost, I'd be interested in more pics once it's all back in the car.
I was considering welding a slide onto the LCA for the rack knuckle to rub up against in an attempt to stop any possibility of it hooking up and as a 'loch stop'.
Any feed back on that idea?
did i forget to mention that, i have also made some lock stoppers but not installed them yet, they are adjustable so depending on which offset rims i run on the front i can adjust so i always have clearance of the chassis rails
you won't notice it at speed, its only low speed (munji type stuff) with 180 degree's that i've noticed
LOL, that shouldn't be a problem for me then as Barbagallo needs a first corner munji entry speed of 140+.
I'd be interested in seeing your lock stopper too.
