      I'm guessing that this is what is going on:



      • The TruTurn setup is intended for the ridetech spindle.
      • The ridetech spindle uses factory steering arm mounting holes.
      • The TruTurn setup reduces bump steer by using a custom steering arm and a custom center link bracket. The point of this is to locate the tie rod in a specific location to minimize bump steer.
      • The AFX spindle is intended for use with a stock steering arm.
      • It reduces bump steer by changing the steering arm mounting holes, thus moving the steering arm, and locating the tie rod in a certain position to minimize bump steer.
      • When you use the AFX spindle AND the TruTurn steering arm, you are "double compensating" - the AFX spindle moves the steering arm (and thus the tie rod) to the correct location, and then the TruTurn steering arm moves it again (to an incorrect location).
      • This overcompensation is causing an interference between the tie rod and the caliper.



      One possible solution is a custom billet steering arm that un-does the AFX spindle adjustment, but it just may not be compatible due to the brake setup. Not sure.
