Steering stops
Can anyone help me out by posting a picture of their steering stops on their tubular lower control arms?
currently my front suspension is together minus the sway bar, and when i turn the wheel lock to lock the tie rod makes contact with my oil pan.
Currently i am running a stock steering box and the longer steering arms. Will a 3rd gen box have internal stops?
This is all new for me, so be gentle
The car is a 67 Camaro with a LS1 installed, i am running an autokraft oil pan if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help

One our StrongArms we have a bolt screwed into the lower arms acting as an adjustable steering stop. You may be able to do something like that.

I don't think the 3rd gen box has internal stops.
I'm using one and I don't remember anything like that.
My car has a first gen small block , stock oil pan and stock steering arms . So I haven't had that same problem.
What longer arms are you using ??Jeff Tate

Hmmmm,
I don't know the answer.
I used a long Pitman arm and matching length idler arm.
Got the parts from Rare Parts.
My steering arms are the stock ones that came on my car.
Sorry , I can't be of more help.
Maybe David Pozzi's site has the answer somewhere ??Jeff Tate
