Most of the time when I've seen that hitting, the drag link was bent back slightly from banging into something on the trail. a little pull got it bent back out and the clearance restored. Of course, once it's been bent, it's not as strong, but you can keep an eye on it. The Currie steering should be OK.
Also, how does your steering feel? If the axle is rotated too far forward you've decreased the castor and might have loose feeling steering.......not much feel of center.
