Anyone else have this problem. Did a search and got a lot of these problems when it came to Thorleys. Here's a pic. First plan was to dremel the end of the bolt off with the backup plan to moving the steering box and getting an alignment. Thoughts?

 

is it just the bolt hitting? can you flip the bolt around or put a shorter one in?

 

I think flipping it would get be to the same spot (that head looks kinda thick), I think the shorter is the way to go (ie Dremel).

 

thats fucked up man... mine were like 6" from the header

 

Mine were fine gettin past the shaft and aren't hitting when I turn the only problem I had putting the in was the trans and the trans lines had to remove the trans support and move the trans and engine over about 2" on mounts to fit between the frame.

 

Wonder if it's just a matter of where you steering box is set up from the factory.

 

do you know for a fact that the truck has never been wrecked? clearance is tight, a slightly bent frame will cause interferance

 

Cut-off wheel or shorter bolt (maybe loc-tite it) like you were saying.

 

Break out the sawsall.

 

take the good ol' dremel to it.
