Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
alternator bearing is failing, so parked the van waiting for a new one and starting checking things over. Finally realized why im having so much trouble with my turning radius and cooking tires.
The issue comes from me going with an aftermarket lower control arm, aftermarket drop spindles, and an aftermarket new front swaybar.
Until now if you cut the steering wheel all the way over, the tire would hit the swaybar and stop the van, depending on how hard you tried to turn. In tight quarters it was really a problem. Now I realize why I was having this problem.
The aftermarket drop spindle has a bolt hole and I neglected to install a bolt and adjust where my wheel stop should be. whoops
cooking tire-
good news is that with this knowledge, I can get larger tires and install a wheel stop for them. A little beefier rubber would look good
