Tie Rod sleave question
«

on my passenger side, the tie rod sleave (between the inner and outer tie rods) is hitting a header pipe, when I turn.
Is there a thinner sleave, or way to modify this, without modifying the header pipe?

Check your motor mounts? You can also shim your motor mount. But here is a diagram to show what Neil was referring to.

Those diagrams are gold. They just helped me - now I see how I can adjust my power steering pump - was having clearance issues with my left side torsion bar. Thanks a lot Brad
