Stubtech drop spindles

[ek amigo]

Best wishes for the new year to everyone. just wondering if anybody can help me solve a problem. I have a Hr front end with 2 in stubtech drop spindles, HQ rotors , HQ calipers ,HQ steel rims, HR steering arms. There is 2 problems 1. the tie rod ends are mm's away from the tyres .2. the tyres are hitting on the gauards when you turn. Any ideas Gents. Is there some other steering arm that can be used, and if I get P76 rotors will that help with the tyre scrub.

Machine some spacers up for between the steering arm and the stub axle,or fit narrower wheels and tyres.

if your using the original steering box get some hk steering arms. use 14" 60 series tyers.

P76 rotors won't help as what ever it moves away from the guard it will move towards the as mentioned close tie rod end, skinnier wheels and bash or cut away the guard lip

[Mick]
