Q: My left front tire hits my frame when I turn the wheel left, like it turns too far. Why?
I have a 1972 Mustang Grande and rebuilt the steering components, had it aligned and recently noticed that the steering wheel does not stop but keeps turning until the tire (turning left) hits the frame. Can you help me understand why this would happen?
