Will, what if you did this with the outer tie rods:

I know it would move the tie rod outward a little more but it may be better than losing forward caster.

by cutting it or something? I was thinking about making a steering stop or taking one of the spacers out just so it cant hit. also when the knuckle and tie rod get in a straight line like it is at lock almost all steering feel goes away
