Can anyone shed any light on this?
I have recently changed most items of the front suspension, new gaz golds, upper and lower balljoints, changed the upper and lower wishbones for tubular ones, polybushes, now when i turn the steering from lock to lock the front wheels now fowl the wishbones, not sure why, would it be worth finding some wheel spacers to solve this problem i am running standard imola 15/16" wheels and tyres, the nearside has always rubbed on the shaped arch where the battery sits, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Have you had the tracking reset?
And also you should have a geo setup you could have the cambers out.

The clearances can be affected by some geo settings, it only takes thousandths to kiss or blow. Rack stops are the quick & easy way to stop fouling wishbones. The only solution for the battery tray is smaller tyres or chop it out AFIK.

3mm spacers from Rallydesign at Faversham will cure the rubbing. Cheap, simple what's not to like. Ian
