2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission clearance problem

[dseabaugh]

Has anyone had any problem with clearance when using Luke's Link on the track bar? Today I was servicing my truck and when I crawled under the front end, the very first thing I saw was that the Lukes link on the track bar had the front differential cover worn shiny Everthing is tight on the front and looks right but apparently whenever I get in any type of twist such as pulling off a level street into an inclined drive the ball end of the track bar rubs the differential cover. I also noticed that the pitman shaft is getting sloppy in my steering box but that is another matter. Any suggestions anyone?

Yes

MikeR had/has? the same marks on his front diff cover after installing Lukes link. Saw it myself.

without risking changing alignment by moving the front axel back or Knocking a dent in the front cover, any ideas before I wear a hole through it?

Luke's Link POS

My cover is scraped prety good alright. Luke's says to grind the head down til it clears. Bulls**t, I say! I shouldn't have to fix the fix! Get rid of the POS because it is pushing the axle rearward when it hits the diff cover.

I noticed mine last week and I still have factory bar and its making a nice shiny spot too. So I think its more if a dodge thing than lukes. I also put on a different stabelizer so maby that changed something I dont know.
