Steering clearance issue
1930 Model A using TCI chassis built for Mustang steering, 4 bar setup.
The drag-link tie-rod is rubbing the shock. All the geometry looks good in terms of the drag-link and the 4 bar setup. We are using what appears to be the short version of the upper steering arm. It measures 5 3/8" from mount face to center of the tie-rod.
My buddy wants me to shave down the upper steering arm, but I think there is something else that isn't right. Any help would be most appreciated. Here are some pictures of the setup.
