On my 66 chevelle I did ridetech level 2 coil over kit with 2 inch drop spindles. So I got it all on and the steering linkage that goes to the disc brakes, hit the lower control arm/strong arm. Any one els have this problem and what did yall do? I started to cut it off and my blade broke so I gotta go get more blades this week to finish it. If I'm even doing the right thing or not ?? Thanks

If you are referring to that piece on the steering arm that drops down like a little finger, that is a steering stop. It's supposed to be there. If you're referring to something else then sorry can't help.

That is the steering stop and it needs to be there. The steering stop will contact the Control Arm at full lock of the steering wheel. The stop needs to contact the Control Arm before the Steering Box bottoms in the full lock position. Our Front Suspension is designed so that the Steering Stop hits the Ball joint Plate of the Control Arm before that happens. If you have any questions you can call me at my desk, 812-481-4742, and I will be happy to help you.
