Joel,

These are RHD designations, thus the parenthetic R.H. and L.H.

Subject: [Tigers] Steering Arm

All

I am officially confused but what else is new.  New 15" LAT wheels and =
205/50/15 tires installed.  Turn the wheel to the right, everything =
clears nicely both wheels\tires or so I think.  Turn the wheel to the =
left, the RIGHT tire hits the bolt for the tie rod at the junction of =
the steering rack and tie rod bolt plus the front sway bar bracket and =
rubber bushing - the one closest to lower control arm by bottom bolt


I had issues with the right, I think, steering arm, which had been =
welded by a previous owner and replaced it with what I thought was =
correct one - I did not write down the numbers of the steering arms that =
were used and cannot see them on the car - now went out, jacked up car =
and checked.  Numbers facing down 1990602 on right and think 1990603 on =
left

In checking the tiger parts list, it shows 1224640 as the steering  Arm, =
O/S (R.H.) and 1224641 as the steering arm, N/S (L.H.) - not sure what =
O/S and N/S stand for?

Parts list for Alpine steering arm from Series IV  shows  1206258 O/S =
(R.H.) and 1206259 N.S. (L.H.)

Here is the kicker regarding numbers:  Old welded number (R.H.I think =
right) 1990603 and on a second line 17300AJGSBEN16T
One I purchased which I did not use is 1990602 JG6B17299A2EN16T - all on =
1 line on the steering arm, I thought was left but now not sure and =
purchased another one used.


1.  What is the correct part numbers on the actual steering arm for =
right and left?
2.  Which direction does the tall middle bolt side face - outside or =
inside when mounted?

2.  Could this possibly be the right tire rub issue?  or other things to =
check?

Struggling
Joel Martin
