Reduce steering throw and stop the wheels rubbing on things like the chassis legs at a guess.

I will mate when you give me a size as the 2wd rack is different to the 4x4 rack wot you have to do is get the front end all togever set the rack to center then get the wheels looking about right by doing the track rod ends then turn the steering till the wheel is just about to hits the chassis and then remesher the rack and that will give you the size spacer you need all so the you need to have the car ride hight set so when you take the sizes its like the car is on the floor not in the air . so when you need them JA/ANDY/DAVE just let me no

Cheers bud, I know a few lads who've done the same and ended up getting rid lol

That's why it was handy getting the donar RS tbh, when it's finished I'll pop over in it have a nose at this if that's OK.
