tie rod sleeve bolts hitting frame

[greeneyegi]

got under my ride to look around today, and saw a scrub mark on my framethe driver side tie rod sleeve bolts have been rubbing on it, right in front of the lower cuntrol arm bolt. my question is should the bolts clear no matter where they are adjusted or turned to maybe my center link is bent? ive got baer 4 wheel disk brakes, gm-b body spindles, 13" disc in front , eibach lowering springs,17x8.5in wheels.its not slammed but a little lower.

Yes, the clamp bolts are supposed to be in the area of about 8:30 through 5:00 o'clock. This is toward the front/bottom looking at it from the side. Will need to turn the clamps so that the are in the correct position.

The o'clock numbers above are not exact, but in the ballpark. This is from experience with GM's where I've had the same issue. It can actually bend the tie rods to the point a re-alignment is required.

The clamps get turned on the sleeve. The sleeve stays in place.
