        Any chance you got the lower wishbone arms on upside down? They are not 
symmetric,
and inverting them will change the spring position by 1/2" (?) or so. It will 
also affect
the body height, although the amount may be too small to notice....
        Just my guess...

Hello ,

I have replaced the front drivers side shock, trunion, and a few new hardware 
bits on my 75 TR 6.  I now have a problem and would like your ideas.
When I turn the wheel to the right lock, the forward most bolt and nut which 
holds the tie rod ( steering arm ) now hits the spring just before full lock.  
I have even fliped the fulcrum pin to see if it might make any difference and 
it barely does.  Could the spring have moved /stretched ? The car has been on 
the jack stands for at least a month?   Lets hear from the suspension pros out 
there.
As always 
Thank you

Chris
