S10 tie rod binding on spindle; Help!

I'm baggin' a '98 S10 frame to go under a 58 Apache pickup with Coker H78-15 WWWs. Right now, when I lay it out, the tie rod ends are binding up at the spindle and it is still 3 inches off the ground. Not sure why, bc I've bagged a lot of s10s and never had this problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! Thanks

Do you have drop spindles on the frame? It could also be due to the height of the H78s, arent they like 28 inches give or take? I have had to notch frames for tie rods before with some of the big whites but not normally if drop spindles are used. Just a thought, you may also want to check for the very back of the control arm hitting the frame i have had to notch there before as well with stock lower arms and at first it appeared the adjusters for the tie rods were hitting but then i flipped them over and when it still hit saw it was the arms.

TALK TO ROCKY.

Yeah, it has drop spindles, and nothing on the a-arms are hitting. They're all custom tubular and there's a lot of room. The linkage isn't hitting the frame at all, it's just binding where it bolts into the spindle.

Its bc your rods cant travel any further you will have to do a heim setup like from Aaron Iha frames he is building Call him up he will be glad to help with any problems you got 626-967-0045 tell them Rocky sent ya bro

thats weird i have never had one bind and not hit something else first. yeah learn something new everyday.

Are they new tie rod ends? Replace them! If the are from a wrecked truck or something they could be full of rust.

General Motors has been served with a class-action lawsuit. The litigation originates from users of 2007 and 2008 Impalas. The case claims that faulty rear spindle rods are causing tires to wear too easily. In 2008 GM addressed the problem for Impalas sold as law enforcement cars, but not to consumer car owners. General Motors could hand out millions if the lawsuit works.A lawsuit claims that this company treated the police better than it did average citizens when taking care of a defective part in 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Impalas.The lawsuit alleges that Impalas from the two model years have defective spindle rods, which connect the suspension to the rear wheels. The defect causes the wheels to misalign, which makes the tires wear out faster. The tires could also wear out unevenly, increasing the risk of a blowout. There were at least 30 drivers who have sent complaints about the issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.While none has reported an accident or injury related to the problem, several drivers said the rear of the car tends to swing out, especially when driving on snow or ice.I found this here: GM faces class action lawsuits over excessive tire wear

Way to hijack a thread, about something we are not even talking about.
