Default Restricting rack movement
I have some big wheels on the Sierra and under full lock they rub on the 909 stiffening plates on the inside where the chassis rail is. Is there a way to restrict the rack and the turning radius/circle so that I can go full lock without weird sounds coming from the car?

"don't steer as much" will not be accepted as an answer

Sweet. A rack is one of the few things I've not really messed with internally. Time to learn.
