Are there any type of adjustable steering stops on these cars, or is it all in the steering box? On my jeep I've got a simple bolt on the knuckle that I can unscrew, put a few washers under, and throw it back on then my rubbing problem is fixed. Anything like that on the Cutty? My 235/70R15's rub just a little too much on the frame at full right hand turn lock and I'd like the stop it.

He he i was stationed at kadena airbase in 1975-76 During the conversion to japan. When i went back in 1985 almost got killed dang cars driving on the wrong side of the road. I am running 225/70R15s on my 72 right now and seem to be okay.

Stops are internal to the gearbox - sorry...
Are you using wheels with the correct backspacing?

Should be correct if the wheels are the ones that came with the car.
Looks nice! I am sure she stands out in the assortment of small cars over there!!

Long shot, but could the RF wheel be toed in too far? IE the alignment is off.

It tracks straight and I didn't have any funny tire wear, so I don't think that's it. Thanks for the suggestion though. I considering putting a small wheel spacer on it just to test and see how much more backspacing I would need.

Is your steering box centered, are there the same amont of turns right to left of center??

I'll check the turns to lock, but unless somebody really screw the pooch on an alignment, nothing too crazy has ever been done to the car. Original steering box, pump, etc.

There's a tab on my lower spindle assemblies that contacts the frame and limits the steering on my 72. But I've done the jeep box swap.

The reason I asked is because it's only doing it on one side??
