OTK/Knuckle help!

[sWissfoo]

i was wondering if anyone else has had problems with otk setup? i have rustys piece of crap and everytime i turn to the left the tie rod hits the right coil pad?? plus i dont like how the drag link mounts to the right side knuckle. i was thinking of buying teraflex knuckle and get an new/used driver side knuckle and go back to tie rod ends. http://www.teraflex.biz/products/ter...r-knuckle.html...

the only way i could get around it was to mount the tie rod under the knuckle. idk what to do, im gonna take my whole front end apart tomorrow,i need to fix this.

I run the Tera knuckle. It's the way to go.

But you may still need to clearance the coil mounts a little.

Edit: If I was into hubs, I might look at the Dedenbear D30 knuckles that let you run big Chevy brakes, true high steer, and hubs.

You could run WJ steering. Same steering setup but better brakes!

my OTK started as TNT but TNT was junk so i made my own tierod and draglink and its 1.25 you gota trim a lot of the coil buckets but mine works perfect

im afraid if i take more off the coil pad the coils wont sit in the pad. i got the axle off, i guess ill try and mod a little. i saw this once on a tj, can i weld a bolt on the center of the coil pad? idk if there is any rubber underneath the coil pad. if i take more off the coil pad, i want to put a plate in-between the coil and the pad, so the coil wont fall out from flex or pressure. kinda like a sandwich...thanks again
