Steering arm issue.

Post by midnight »

Ok guys. My farter and I are getting an 84 Lux with a 2.8 Turbo Import motor in it. Now, dad had a look underneath it today and the steering arm from the steering box to the front (the one that runs parralell to the springs) is hitting the springs. How do we fix this, is it costly?, Easy? And what would cause it to happen?

Thanks guys.

Would a high steer kit fix it?
