Steering/Wheel stoppers upgrades?
Steering/Wheel stoppers upgrades?
i have a 2001 S60 and the suspension has been modified with fully adjustable KONI's before i bought it. it sits on the 225/45/17 wheels and with the standard steering/wheel stoppers bolted onto the strut arms i am still experiencing rubbing on full lock, more so in right turns. does anybody know of performance uprated or fatter stoppers that are available to fit to eliminate the rubbing on full lock? thanks as ive already tried fitting brand new volvo standard ones and it hasnt made much difference

They all do it with 235/45s, even when new
You can install S60R steering stops but your turning circle will become larger.
It also depsnds on the BRAND of tire, tires are not created equal, some can be 1/2" wider even though the "size" is the same
5mm wheel spacers usually solves this issue
I had a lowered V70R with 18s and with spacers, NO RUBBING!
