    Steering angle

    Having just fitted the Maxxis MT-764 265/75*16 tyres I noticed that while turning left the tyre rubs on the radius arm.
    Turning right the tyre clear radius arm about 3cm.
    Can be fixed by spacing the limmiter but is this normal?

    It is normal for that size tyre to rub.
    My KM2's are the same size and just touch the radius arms at full lock on both sides.
    I'm to lazy to adjust the stopers so I just back off the steering wheel a little.

    If the right lock steering stoper has a gap on lock try the following if you feel it's worth it.
    The steering arm(not the tie rod) could be adjusted to increase right turn and reduce left.
    Re-centralising the steering wheel would have to be done too.
    This will not efect the toe in/out settings.
    Cheers, Kyle

    Thanks,
    The steering arm on the box is not centre.
    With adjustment it could be set to turn equal left to right.
