i think my fact spring were cut from one of the previous owners. i actually know they were. the car has a real solid bounce when i hit a bump. like 2 times,and it is short.if that makes any sense. i was convinced of it when i turned my steering full lock and i heard grinding in the front end with the fact rims. the tires are 215 up front,so thats not it.

so what i am saying is. i need offset racks don't i. i will be doing a full suspension but not yet. i will be soon. i just need to fix this problem or not turn the wheel full lock. this may be a dumb ?,but will this damage anything else besides the crumy turbine wheels?
thanks guys.

i think 50resto sells what you need. or go to ford and get them. its a little plastic clip that goes on the inner tie rod that keeps it from turning too far. it was a factory fix from what i understand.

Id check the shocks. I thought my springs were cut when I got my car, turns out the shocks froze up. They wouldnt compress past half way. Springs were fine.
