In an earlier post I failed to mention that I had a 36 Ford axle dropped by Mor Drop. The spindles turned lock to lock against the stock stops. The ackerman was fine.

 

When you get it figured out can you post pictures?

 

Sure can. The lucky 7 axel I have should be used with bolt on drop spindles. I'm going to have a stock A axel dropped. That way the bend can a but farther in ( so I'm told by the guy who is going to drop it) I really don't want bolt on spindles on my roadster. I also an using different wish bones.

Another option was to maybe buy a new axle from So cal . They say on the Web sit it was designed to work with the old spindles. I did call to verify that it would give me my 30 to 35 degrees of turn with stock 39 spindles but he said he didn't know. ?? ??

I had the same problem, so I switched from split bones to haiepins; problem solved.

 

can you elaborate about the store-bought lowered steering arms??

 

If you had a earlier wishbone say a 36 style. That would give you about 3/8" more clearance. It's going to be tough to make it work going under using the stock spindle arms.

 

Here is my 34 axle,34 wishbone,1 1/12" drop for 4" total. The arm are bent on top of wishbone and have good Ackerman,every thing clears and steering lock to lock is good.
I am trying to post pic and use HAMB ap for first time,see what happens.
