How to adjust steering bumpstop in 2000 GV
« on: May 25, 2009, 10:05:42 PM »
We recently lifted my sister's stock GV by 2.5 inches using Jeff spacers.  Front struts/rear shocks and all 4 coils are by OME.  We then upgraded to bigger 235/70 BFGs using the stock 16inch wheels.  Noticed some rubbing between the inner aspect of the front tires against the ladder frame chassis on full turns.  Had the steering inspected and noted that the GV doesn't have any steering bumpstop screw to limit steering travel.  Any suggestions on how to limit the steering travel such that it wouldnt rub against the chassis frame at full turns? Thanks!

Why?  The rubbing won't cause any harm.  You just get a nice little shiny spot on the frame.

We finally remedied by fabricating a custom bumpstop screw to limit wheel turning travel.
