the arm (draglink) that goes between the front knuckles
when it compresses on the RHS , the link hits the pitman arm (arm off the steering box)

easy 2 understand !! :D

I was wondering if it was a rock or from the stress of going wider with the Hiluxs on the Zuk steering stuff

In an effort to clarify, see pic.

In this case, I don't believe Tims tie rod hits either the draglink or pitman arm. His Tie rod is the standard Hilux unit, so it's technically fine (although now bent due to driver/rock abuse and should be replaced), the draglink is an aftermarket item which is 'beefed up' appropriately, and I expect should be fine.

tyre clearance is still looking pretty tight up the front there tim. i'm guessing it will be worse still if you ever upgrade from those stock 26's.

might i suggest adding some lift blocks between the springs and the axels :cool:
